The Hornady Single Stage Primer Pocket Swage Tool (.223/5.56) removes the staked military crimp from small-primer brass using a single-stage reloading press — without cutting, filing or leaving any brass swarf to clean up. Military 5.56x45mm NATO cases are crimped at the primer pocket to prevent primers from backing out under automatic cycling, and that crimp must be dealt with before a new primer can seat correctly. Rather than cutting the crimp away, this tool swages it: the die presses into the pocket mouth and cold-works the metal outwards, restoring the pocket to the correct diameter and leaving the pocket walls intact. Swage depth is adjustable so you can fine-tune the result for different case brands and headstamps. Designed to work with any compatible single-stage press, it comes with the swage tool, a case handle, and a shell holder, so everything needed is in the box. The tool processes one case at a time, making it a practical choice for reloaders who run a single-stage or turret press and work in modest batch sizes. For progressive-press users, see the Hornady Lock-N-Load AP Primer Pocket Swage Tool.
