It's a factory crimp. swage it out if you are reloading it.
Edit: And yes, you are right. 5.56 ammo is higher pressure than .223, and may cause primer to blow out. |

XM193C is the same as XM193F, XM193CBP and etc…) The only difference is the package configuration. from Federal's website.... http://www.federalpremium.com/resources/xm193.aspx |

I bought a bunch of this stuff. Noticed the unusual crimp right away. Been through about 500 rounds of it so far. Shoots well, and buying 500 at a time got a pretty good price. Nothing about "training only" on the box. It shows no indication of being reloaded or anything like that. I haven't reloaded any of the empties yet, but I'm betting it will be easier to swage than the fully crimped stuff.

And then use a primer pocket reamer (uniformer) if you want to reload those cases.
Here's one that works with the excellent L.E. Wilson case trimmer system... http://www.lewilson.com/primerpocketreamer.html |

The RCBS primer pocket swaging die set only costs thirty something and works quickly and well. At least it has for me. I imagine removing what amounts to a partial crimp on the LC 12 cases will be even easier than the full crimp on the LC 11 cases I've reloaded. Some people use a drill bit to just shave off the crimp. Some people just use a blade of some kind and carve the crimp off. I tried those methods and didn't like the results, so I got the swaging die set. |
