I picked up some brass at the range last Saturday and began working on some of the .223 last night. After punching out the primers, trimming the cases and getting them ready I began to seat new primers.

Lo and behold about 30 of them won't seat a new primer. Almost looks like a little metal band inside the primer hole. Anyone know what this is? Can I remove it?

Thanks for your input.
