Looking for the above kit to enable me to remove the crimp in military brass.

If anyone has one for sale please let me know.

Thanks.

Danny.
 
You'll fly through your military crimps with that Danny. I've just bought one from Spud and used it for the first time yesterday. It's very effective, plus they have a bit of a reputation for being able to tighten up the odd loose pocket along the way.
If you haven't used one before, I can advise that you have to give the press handle a bit of a bang backwards to release the case after swaging, so consider a plastic washer under the release plate thingy, to prevent chipping the paint on your press. You'll see what I mean. I saw a thread on it somewhere, so I did it. I cut one from the top of an ice cream tub to stop metal on metal contact on my Rockchucker. A bit of sizing lubricant on the pin every few cases also helped in releasing them without too much fuss.
