    Does anyone know the approximate force in PSI to unseat a crimped primer from 7.62 NATO brass?

    I’m assuming there would be a MIL standard for this sort of thing
     
    one of my former students is designing a depriming tool for another class and asked me if i knew.....told him ide look into it.
     
    yeah yeah yeah....semantics

    im justifying it because the primer area is a known constant.
