I believe RCBS makes a tool for that.

RCBS makes a tool for in the press that will remove the crimp and true up the primer pocket or you can use your case mouth reamer and just give a little twist . it does not take much to knock down the crimp

Easiest? Pocket knife...

To avoid primer backing out in a full auto and jamming things, they squeeze a slight lip in government ammo around the primer after it is seated. I think I saw a "stab crimp" used on Japanese ammo. All you have to do is remove this lip. Sharp pocket knife blade once around will do that nicely.   BUT very Many cases and your fingers get tired.

I have also used the LEE neck chamfering tool, among others. Works, again, tired fingers soon...

For the wood workers... I have heard (by #) of a countersink for flat head screws that works great... Chuck it into any rotating device and touch the primer pocket to it. LIP GONE!. I jumped from Neck chamfer tool to die/punch... don't remember the #

RCBS and ch4d.com for sure have a die set where you support the case and use press leverage to force a pin that resizes/slips into the hole, the original size, and forms a slight taper, rounding for the ease of the insertion of the next primer at the edge. Dillion makes a small press device exclusively for this. Your bucks, your call... luck

I used the RCBS swage kit for over 20 years, lots of frustration, after hearing a lot of glowing reviews for the Dillon Super Swage I finally broke down and bought one, I've been kicking myself ever since!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I should have gotten the Dillon Super Swager years ago!  If is much more effective than the RCBS, and tremendously faster, it's kind of expensive..but worth it!

The local PD academy was shooting AR's at our range and they donated a large amount of brass that was crimped. I went with the Dillon swagger and have never looked back. We are talking over 3k case's of Federal brass.
