Help with priming 50BMG

[desertHK]

I have a RCBS Ammo Master II press with the 50 BMG kit. Trying to prime the brass with it. It appears that the primers (CCI#35) is a bit flat after primed. Does anyone have a picture of a primed 50 BMG case (self reloading that is, NOT the commercially primed brass). Thanks for your help.

I don't know how to post pics and have no interest in learning send me a pic or post it here. The top has to be flattened to arm it.

Looks just like mine when I prime them.

I have two different priming units for the 50's! One for the flat CCI #35's and a concave type for the hirtenberger primers! Some of the CCI also are concaved.

See my old post on another forum! Priming units for the 50 BMG

Hope it helps!

Looks good to me also. RWS required you to flatten' em a little to arm them. If you reload you should get the CH4D primer pocket ream tool. It will give you a perfect primer pocket. I don't think it is on their site but just give them a call. It is not to expensive and brass prep is the key to the BMG. Link has a few of the tools

I do the same....I use a TiCN endmill. It stays very sharp and cuts really well.
