I understand how to spot a primer crimp, but exactly how does the military crimp their primers?  What is the process they use?

They put them in there the same way that we swage them out.




When the brass is sized and ready to load, the primer is seated, and then with a rod inside the case to support the web (just like the swagers we use) the crimp is applied to the head.
