[QUOTE="7Rumloader, post: 60639, member: 3640"] Some may tell you it doesn't help to uniform the primer pockets but I have seen a difference since I started. I use a lyman uniformer for the pocket which has a preset stop collar to sammi specs and I also use a flash hole uniformer to make sure the flash holes are all the same size. There are several tools available to uniform the pockets and flash holes but I dont see how one can be any better than the other. These two steps add time to case prep but I believe it's worth it. The Norma brass is very nice but I have little experience with it. The winchester brass will probably benefit a good deal from the extra steps. I use some of their brass along with remington and have found most of the cases to be consistent with each other but usualy you get a good amount of brass out of the pockets when you use the tool I mentioned above and a little from the flash holes. The tools themselves will come to personal preference to brands and I'm unsure if anyone makes a power version to speed the process up. My accuracy improved on all my loads after I started using these steps. Don't get me wrong I didn't go from half inch to one hole groups but they went from the high side of .3 and .4 inch groups to the the high side of .2 and .3 inch groups and thats a good improvement in my book!
