    I've put it to alot of use as of late, now it"s dulled to useless.
    Sharpening instructions?
    Is there a auto sharpener made for those like there is for drill bits?

    Ummm, what tool is it exactly? If you're cutting the primer pockets, you MAY want to invest in a Dillon Super Swager.

    A lot of things work as a crimp remover. Some requires the user to have skill
    & some are idiot proof.
    I could maybe resharpen it - it would probably cost more to ship back & forth than to by a new one. Resharpen it via the slot. Sometimes it just doesn't happen or not worth the effort.

    From what I get the swagers are the best, although not the cheapest. There ars some press mounted ones also.

    such as:

    What cases are you dealing with?

    On .223 I just Deprime & Resize brass on the 550B (hole 1) in a batch. Then trim & debur off press in a batch. Primer pockets get whatever you deem necessary at this point. Next I reprime on (hole 1) using progressive holes 2-4 for the rest of operations.

    You can use a universal decaping die also, but that would add a step. Would be easier than what you are doing now.
