How is a Hornady primer pocket reamer supposed to work?

I bought one to remove crimps from 223 brass and it doesn't come with instructions and it's obviously too big to fit. I used a junk case to see how it works and if you just ream a small bit it leaves a step and if you team it to the bottom a primer falls in and out with no resistance at all. It's obviously not packaged wrong because it is smaller than a large primer pocket. For now I'm just be eking the edge with my RCBS chamfer tool. Any input would sure be appreciated. This is new territory for me. Thanks
