What is the best way to remove the crimped primer? What do I need to buy? Links or pictures would be great.

Dillon Super Swage 600 will pull out the crimped primer pockets in your military brass.

Additionally, the 1050 press does this automatically.

I have the Dillon, and it works great. RCBS makes one that fits in a standard press sort of like a reloading die. I do not know how well it works, never used one.

Use this, or just use a light touch with your chamfer tool

The greatest killer in the 20th Century was secular governments who had disarmed their own citizens. Approximately 160 million people were killed by their own governments, in over 40 communist states, just in the 20th Century alone. These were not foreigners killed by invading armies during times of war, these were citizens killed by their own governments in times of peace.
