Does anyone think there is a market for some sort of bench mounted device that could crimp the primers on reloaded .223/5.56 or .308 cases? As far as I know, no such device exists. I know some people will pull down milsurp ammo and use the cases with crimped primers for making high pressure clones like MK262 etc.
I am in the process of devising a design project for my university's senior capstone program and this was one things that crossed my mind. Of course, re-crimping would mean more swaging/reaming if those cases were to be used again and a primer pocket could only be crimped so many times before there was no longer enough material around the primer pocket to crimp it again. I'm thinking this might be something some people may find valuable when loading new brass or once/twice fired commercial or military brass.
So let me know what you think. I've included a poll - Yes, I would buy one/ No, I wouldn't buy one/ Maybe, more details are needed.
If yes, please give me a ballpark figure of how much you might be willing to spend for such a device. If no or maybe, please post a brief explanation.
Thanks
