[QUOTE="barefooter56, post: 1070885, member: 85389"] WhiteOak, SAMMI spec for Large rifle primer pockets are .125 to .132 and you want the primer to be below flush .003-.005 so .131 or so. Get a good primer pocket uniformer to prep the primer pocket each time you load the cartridge case ( new to discard) that will remove material ONLY from the bottom of the primer pocket. Most are preset to the maximum dimension + or - .001- .0015 or so. Sinclair sells a carbide version along with an adaptor so you can use it with an electric screwdriver that works very well. Be sure to use a good Priming tool that will let you "feel" the anvil just touch the bottom of the primer pocket so you dont crush the primer and affect ignition. [/QUOTE]
