[QUOTE=".30-06, post: 2576971, member: 123083"] The main thing is the pockets are uniformed before you seat them. I see pockets that have a slight curve where the walls meet the floor, and need removal otherwise the primer anvil will not seat flush. From there it's best to be able to feel it bottom out. I use a Lee ram prime on a RCBS Partner press. I tried a larger press and it was too much or too little. Depth of primers ? If I stopped cutting the pocket when I reached the floor after the curve disappeared then they are uniformed enough for me. I go by eye...and actually measured them within a thou. [/QUOTE]
