Can 223 (not 5.56) ammo have a military crimped primer?

[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1090353, member: 90399"] Hey everyone. I just started reloading for my AR. I heard that Norma brass was good consistent quality so I actually purchased some 223 Norma ammo so I could plan to reuse the brass. I've heard of primer pockets having a "military crimp". I had never ran across it myself and I just assumed they must be on Nato ammo. Well I actually went to reload my once fired Norma brass this weekend and noticed this when I tried to put in new primers: [IMG]http://s8.postimg.org/ty2w1o29h/IMG_20150607_113348_773.jpg[/IMG] So a couple questions for you guys with more experience than myself... Is this a "military crimp" primer pocket? Nowhere on the ammo package or the details on the product website does it state this brass has crimped primer pockets. How can I avoid this in the future? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
