Military and surplus brass can be a wallet-friendly way to source rifle cases, but GI brass comes with a challenge: the primer pocket crimp that's stamped into factory ammunition to keep primers secure during military use. The Hornady Small Size Silver Primer Pocket Reamer (model 041210) is the tool that unlocks that brass for reloading. This single reamer head removes the crimp from small primer pockets, making once-fired military brass reloadable and usable in your handloading setup.
The reamer head features Hornady's proven design and works with any Hornady case prep tool or accessory handle that uses 8-32 threading—including the Case Prep Trio, Case Prep, and Universal Accessory Handle systems. This compatibility means you're not locked into a single tool ecosystem; if you've already invested in Hornady prep equipment, this reamer integrates seamlessly. The small reamer head is purpose-built for the smaller primer pockets found on many rifle cartridges, cutting cleanly without damaging the case brass itself.
Made in the USA, the reamer is built to last, and if you work through a lot of brass, replacement heads are sold separately—a practical feature that keeps your reloading costs down over time. Whether you're working with Lake City brass, commercial surplus, or other military-spec ammunition cases, this reamer lets you stretch your component budget without compromising the integrity of your reloads.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this reamer work with my Hornady case prep setup?
Yes, as long as your Hornady case prep tool or accessory handle uses 8-32 threading. This includes the Case Prep Trio, Case Prep, and Universal Accessory Handle. The small reamer head simply threads into the compatible handle.
What is military crimp, and why do I need to remove it?
Military ammunition has a crimp stamped into the primer pocket to ensure primers stay secure during handling and firing. This crimp prevents standard reloading dies from seating new primers properly. The primer pocket reamer removes this crimp, returning the pocket to a standard dimension for reloading.
Can I use this on large primer pocket brass?
No, this reamer is specifically designed for small primer pockets. Hornady also offers a large primer pocket reamer head for military brass with large primer pockets.
What if my reamer head breaks?
Replacement reamer heads are sold separately, so you can swap in a new head without replacing the entire tool assembly.
