[QUOTE="RyanG, post: 738836, member: 28392"] I also ment to mention that if you are shooting once fired brass from the military or the police departments. I use the latter.... You will have to remove the crimp in the primer pocket. It takes quite a bit of time unless you get the right tools. I started out by just using the chamfer tool. THAT SUCKED! Then I got a cutting tool for my RCBS case prep station. It worked but you had to be really careful not to remove too much or you get gas leakage from the primer and you will burn your bolt face. I learned this the hard way and had to replace my bolt. Now I use the RCBS Swager tool. It works great. Some time added to the case prep but way easier and it sizes the whole primer pocket. Not one in over 3000 loads has had any leakage. Also when you are priming your cases if the primer doesnt fit smoothly.... dont force it. resize the primer pocket. Federal cases seem to be hard and it takes a bit more to get that pocket resized. Let me know if I can be of any more help. Ryan [/QUOTE]
