The Hornady Lock-N-Load AP Primer Pocket Swage Tool is a dedicated case-prep accessory for reloaders working with 223 Rem/5.56 ammunition on a Lock-N-Load AP press. If you're loading military brass or matching cases with crimped primer pockets, swaging—rather than cutting—those crimps is faster, cleaner, and eliminates the mess and trimmings that come with mechanical depriming. This tool integrates directly into your AP press setup and handles the job in a single station.
Crimped primer pockets are common on military and some commercial 223/5.56 cases and need to be dealt with before you can seat a fresh primer. The swage approach compresses the crimp inward instead of removing material, so you're not chasing tiny brass shards around your bench. Swage depth is adjustable, which matters because case brands vary slightly—you can fine-tune it to work reliably across the ammunition you're prepping without over-working any single brand.
The tool ships with everything you need to mount it on your AP press: a shell holder, feed die, swage tool, and eject die. If you're already running a Lock-N-Load AP, this is a straightforward add-on that turns primer pocket prep from a separate, tedious step into part of your normal press cycle.
