A: Sorry to hear about the headaches with the crimped primers. This can be a common process and issue while reloading the .223 or the 5.56 round. These primer crimps are commonly found on military brass chambered in 5.56 but can also be found in other brands designated for the retail market. A customer favorite for first firing and reloading in the .223 caliber has been the PMC brand. PMC sells their .223 under their "bronze" line. You may recognize the packaging from other pistol or rifle calibers. This boxer primed brass should not cause the troubles you have previously been experiencing.
