    Primer Pocket Reaming

    I got an adjustable primer pocket reamer from RW Hart. Folks at Hart told me to adjust depth so primer seats .001/.002 deep. When I adjust the tool to ream the pocket to this depth, it only "cuts" the middle portion of the pocket around the hole, not the entire pocket to the side edges...

    Primer Pockets

    I'm new at this, and I'm wondering how important is it to clean the primer pockets? More specificly .45ACP and .308WIN. I have a primer pocket brush that I pourchased and put it in my Drill Press, and it cleans the pcoket out in about 5sec, but it does add up when doing about 1000 rounds. I...

    Loose .223 primer pockets

    Using Lake City brass as an example, does anyone have some guidance on how many reloads I can perform before primer pocket expansion will become a concern? Other than the feel of the primer as it's inserted, are there any precursors to look for before things get to the "gas escaping from the...

    Hi guys, after reading about case exploding thread, I was hoping that someone would be able to post pictures of good primers and bad primers and the signs of over pressure, seating depth, etc. I searched this site and the internet and did not come across much. Thanks in advance

    Whats the best way to remove primer pocket crimp

    I've got a bunch of 5.56 cases that need to be de-crimped. I figure the best way is with the Dillon Primer Pocket swager but I'm not ready to spend that much yet. RCBS makes a die that swages the primer pocket, anyone have any experience with it? Is it easy, hard slow ...? Also Forster...
