On decapping live crimped primers...I had a buddy give me a long belt of 7.62 milsurp blanks recently. All matching LC 69 brass and I figured on salvaging it and reform it to 45acp shotloads (similar to CCI's). I had occassion to deprime about 150 rounds of it so far and I admit, I was leery at first of decapping it. This stuff has a prominent (sp) crimp. I got my safety glasses and muffs on and gave it a try...slow & steady, not much more than an uncrimped primer in force. Not one bang, not one broken decapping pin. just be careful and ease the pin onto the primer real slow and it wont go off, A slow steady pressure pops em right out, even crimped. You never know though so do wear safety glasses & muffs just in case!
One of those round knurled chamfering tools will slice the crimp right out. Thee lee type chamfering tool ($5.?) is better for this than the Wilson type chamfering/deburring tool b/c its sharper.
