Lyman's small primer pocket reamer removes military crimps and rough edges from primer pockets. Includes molded handle for comfortable, controlled operation during case prep.
Preparing brass for reloading requires attention to detail, and the Lyman Primer Pocket Reamer addresses a critical step in the case preparation process.
This small reamer is designed to clean up primer pockets that have been damaged or compromised during firing or handling. Military-specification ammunition often features crimped primer pockets—a design that prevents accidental primer dislodgement during the rigors of field use. When you reload military brass, those crimps must be removed to ensure proper primer seating and consistent ignition.
A properly prepared primer pocket ensures consistent primer seating depth, which directly affects ignition reliability and shot-to-shot consistency. This reamer is a practical investment for any serious reloader who works with military brass or wants to maximize the life of their brass supply.
