    Are crimped primers non reloadable, or just a pita to reload?

    PITA, the crimp needs to be swagged or drilled out. Crimp is per mil specs. It is an extra step and takes a fair amount of time.

    Meh, removing the primer crimp t'ain't no thang, only takes a couple seconds with the right tool in a small cordless drill. And ya only have to do it once. Then you have milspec brass that might last a few more loadings than commercial. But I consider Berdan primed brass and the steel/aluminum cased shit to be a curse on humanity.
