Is PMC .223 crimped?
I've had trouble getting primers to seat, unless I swage them. No issues with other brands.
Anyone know?

Some of it is... you should be able to see the crimp ring around the pocket.

If you are over 40, you can't be sure you'll see the crimp. Some ammo is crimped with a very obvious crimp, peening marks that can't be missed. I have seen plenty of 9mm brass that has just a slight ring pressed around the primer that really is hard to see, if it can be seen at all.

This seems to be the case with Wally World Federal .223 ammo as well. There is a circular ring around the primer that is depressed from the case head.

I have run into 3-4 different flavors of PMC headstamps. Some of it is crimped and some of it isnt.
When PMC crimps in a primer, they mean it. By far, the most aggressive crimp I have dealt with.
