I know this sounds like a noob question but I have been assured these are not crimped. They are once fired and haven't been reloaded yet. Do these look like they are crimped?
Crimped primers or am I going blind?

Re: Crimped primers or am I going blind?
Appears to be an annular crimp vs. the staked crimp. The staked crimp appears as 3 or 4 dents, the annular is all the way around.

Re: Crimped primers or am I going blind?
Yes, those were crimped at original manufacture. Now since then, they may have been "swaged" so as to open the primer pocket to non-crimped dimensions. They may be selling it as a swaged set and calling it uncrimped (which would be inaccurate but represented to not require swaging or reaming).

I didn't realize that "staking" was broken down like that for primers. I was using the terms from staking bearings in place, which ends up being an annular crimp.
Thanks for clearing that up.
