About a year ago, I bought about 500 rounds of Fiocchi (G.F.L. headstamped) .223 ammo and I finally got around to shooting it about a month ago. So, yesterday I tumbled, deprimed and resized some of it. When I went to reprime it, the primers would not seat. So I think that the primer pockets are crimped and I get out the primer pocket tools. The primers still won't seat. I check some other fired brass (Federal, LC, Remington, Win) and they all seat just fine. Has anyone else had this issue? If so, what was the solution? I was thinking of just throwing it out since I have plenty of other, but its 500 pieces of brass. Thanks for any input.

i use the funny shaped thing from lee. it's slow but won't take off too much brass.
good luck.
someone w/more experience will be along soon.

The question is do you have your decrimping tool set properly? If you do and they still will not seat try taking your chamfering tool an put a slight chamfer on the pocket! I had to do this on some of my brass even after using the pocket tool! Some brass has a very agressive crimp!:supergrin:
You can remove that quite easily. On occasion I've had one slip into a batch I was repriming and just grabbed a screwdriver to remove the lip. To do 500 of them, a cheap lee tool would work fine... A hundred or so a night while your watching tv...
