Brass from Fed AE 7.62 OTM for M1A any good?

[eravelo]

I fired close to 500 rds of Federal American Eagle 7.62 168 Grain OTM for M1A thru my Remington 700 and kept the brass.


I decapped a few with my Wilson punch and decapping base, and noticed the crimped primer.
Now I have to deal with the crimp, and have thought about investing in a Dillon Super Swager, or some such device.
The cases are pristine, but they are thicker and heavier than 308 FGMM.
The question is thus...is this brass worth spending $100 on such a device?

Do you want to sell them?

There is nothing wrong with crimped brass other than some shooters being too lazy to decrimp it. Buy the Dillon, it'll take a couple of hours to decrimp. Or find a friend with one and try it for this batch.

Or buy the RCBS primer pocket swage kit for a lot less.
