    Dillon super swedge if you have a lot, otherwise rcbs military crimp remover, or Hornady primer pocket uniforme, or you can use a countersink, or a drill bit, or a Philips screwdriver, I've even heard about done one using a pocket knife.

    Ch4d and rcbs also make press mounted ones.. All depends on what fits your work flow better..
    There was another one like the Dillon by rcbs i think, it had a lever that ran parallel with it..

    Usually crimped pocket brass either has a ring around the primer or has 3 staking marks..

    Note: I purposely did not say which one I use. Or whether I prefer to swedge the crimp, or cut it.

    But I have used the Dillon and rcbs bench mounts before, as well as the Ch4d press mount ones before.
    I have also cut the crimps as well using diffrent tools.
    But my work flow was better suited for something else..so that's what I use..

    Your milage may vary,
