I have a bunch of military brass (once fired) that I hope to start reloading shortly. The only reloading experience I have up to now is with new brass & blackpowder.
So anyway I was reading an old reloading manual & came across reference to military brass having a "primer crimp". Looking at my brass (1940's) I see that my brass does indeed have this "crimp".
The manual was not very clear about how to handle this situation, except that pushing the primers out seems to require more pressure & an extra "cutting" or "swaging" operation is necessary on the empty pocket before repriming.
How do you handle these extra operations?. Is one better than the other?.
Any guidance or comments would be appreciated.

I have searched here but came up empty handed (or blank screened).
