    How do I remove primer pocket crimp?

    I've got a heap of Federal and LC08 .223 brass that I've sized but the primers are bloody hard to put in.

    What tool do I need to sort the primer crimp out and how quick and easy is it to do?

    Either use your chamfer tool or buy a decrimping tool

    RCBS make a press mounted primer pocket swager which will do exactly what you need.
