Hi all.
What does everybody use to remove the military crimp?
Ideally something that can be found in a diy store off the shelf.

Look for a Lyman reamer, should only cost you about £15. Even Amazon sell them believe it or not.

Cheapest option is a counter-sink bit in a drill....don't need to do much, just enough to leave a bit of a bevel

I tend to use my inside case neck chamfer tool. It does the job quickly and easily and as others have already said it's really not a big problem.
