I inherited two boxes of Hornady Super performance Match and a box of White tail Classic brass. I noticed the primers appear to be crimped like military ammunition. I sized the cases like I always do, swaged out the crimp on my Dillon swager and I still can't get a primer to seat in the cases.........WTF!? Any one else having the same problem with Hornady brass?
I inherited some hornady 223 brass during the big shortage a couple years ago. It was crimped also. I used my pocket reamer and didn't have trouble seating primers. I know thats probably not much help....lol

I've swaged hundreds of military 223, 308 and 30-06 on my Dillon swager and never once had a problem seating primers afterwards. I can't comprehend why Hornady felt the need to crimp primers in "match" brass?!
I use this on all my crimped 223,308,30-06 and it works great. I then put it in a socket and use a 3/8 to drill adapter and then use a cordless drill, you can't go to deep because it bottoms out where the primer rests at the base where the flash hole is.

I have one of those and I prefer my trim method.
