The Hornady Lock-N-Load AP Primer Pocket Swage Tool for 7.62x51/308 is a specialized reloading accessory designed to efficiently remove primer crimp from military and commercial brass. This tool is particularly beneficial for reloaders who process large volumes of .308 Winchester or 7.62 NATO brass, especially once-fired military casings that often have factory crimps.
The swage tool integrates seamlessly into Hornady's Lock-N-Load AP progressive reloading press, utilizing the included shell holder feed, swage tool, and eject dies to automate the crimp-removal process. This design mechanically collapses the crimp inward, restoring the primer pocket to factory dimensions without risking case damage, thus preserving case integrity and extending the life of brass across multiple reloads.
Reloaders processing military-range brass and competitors preparing .308 match ammunition will find this tool particularly advantageous. Its specific design for 7.62 NATO and .308 Winchester brass ensures reliable performance and consistent primer pocket geometry, making it an essential tool for those focused on precision and high-volume handloading.
