This video came to me because I see rather often people posting pictures and/or questions on the reloading subreddit showing their primers all wonky. It's almost always caused from trying to prime crimped brass without doing the steps of reaming the crimp out or swaging the crimp to push the material out of the way and open the pocket up to it's standard size. I thought this might hopefully help some new people avoid a few mistakes and get ahead of the game a little in their own reloading journey. I hope this helps someone!
If you have any other tips, please leave a comment below so others can learn more information. I'm new to this still and trying to learn all I can and hopefully share as much as possible to help others avoid some mistakes.
