I use the Lee 2-headed pocket cleaner. I never had any luck by hand. I placed it in a drill so maybe I was reaming. I finished the brass.

IMO you are using the wrong tool for the purpose.

You need to buy a reamer tool and not use that cleaner tool to remove the crimp.

That is not a cleaner, it will cut the pocket.
The one on the right , gets the most use.
Just depends.

I’ve been periodically borrowing a Dillon swaging tool for this. Need to get my own tool but don’t want to spend Dillon money. Has anyone tried the Lee tool? It has good reviews on Midway.

@turable.shot my thumbs and hands hurt just looking at that. Kudos to you if you made it work for several thousand pieces of brass.

@Ray Floyd the Frankfort arsenal swager is only about $75. It works great

I did about 2,000 over a period of 3/4 days. I bought some once fired brass, sized it all and trimmed it all,
If it was hard to deprime, it went into the cut bucket(which was most of it). Used the drill to ream e'm.
BUT, I have 223 brass, ready to go.... Politics at the time, put me in the go mode.

It would be nice to have the swager.

Looks like it’s on sale at Midway for $88. The Lee tool is on sale for $40. I don’t know, I might just keep borrowing the Dillon tool. I don’t need to use one very often. Mostly for Lake City 7.62x51 brass and I don’t shoot that much of that ammo. Thanks for the tip though.
