Practical Benefits
- The Hornady Large Primer Pocket Reamer (041202) fits reloaders who process once-fired military or factory crimped large primer brass and want to make that brass compatible with standard large primers.
- Cutting away the crimp rather than forcing primers in helps you avoid high seating pressure, crushed primers, and misfires in your large primer cartridges.
- Using this reamer on your brass supports more consistent primer seating depth, which can improve ignition uniformity across lots of reloads.
- The option to run the tool by hand or in a power case prep unit lets you tailor your workflow to small tuning jobs or larger volume brass prep days.
- If your brass bin includes a mix of commercial and crimped large primer cases, the Hornady Large Primer Pocket Reamer (041202) is a practical choice to keep that crimped brass in your regular reloading rotation.
