It turns out that I have A LOT of WCC headstamp .45 acp brass. this brass lacks the bevel in the primer pocket that commercial does (yes i'm new). anyhow, whats a good inexpensive tool for adding it. thanks

Its called swedging but you said you wanted something cheep,this is about $ 6.00 where as a swedger cost $150.00 .Before I got the drill press I did it by hand,pain in the hand but it can be done.

RCBS, Hornady and others make a primer pocket swager that fits in your press just like your other dies. They sell for about 25 bucks. You run them through one at a time and it removes the crimp from the primer pocket. It is a little slow, but not a stressful process.

Spend the money and get the Dillon Super Swage. Though not cheap, it certainly accelerates the process of removing the primer pocket crimp on military/NATO brass.

Well I will probably buy something hand held to begin with.
That said, I just got my press, that I bought second hand, back from Dillon and i'm not sure if its the same thing I sent them. I have drank the blue kool aid and am no longer impartial.
