Does the lake city brass have the primer crimp on it. I have not reloaded any military brass and I can't tell if this has the crimp. it dosen't look like it to me. Any help?

All 5.56 lake city brass had a crimped in primer when it left the plant as loaded ammo.  If you are buying fired or brass from decommissioned ammo, it MAY have a crimp.  Some places that sell brass ream or swage the crimp out of the pocket when they process it.  If youre buying brass in quantity, pay the few extra $$ to have this done.  It saves much time and aggrevation.

See the circle that runs around the outside of the primer pocket?  That's the crimp.
