[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1667893, member: 9308"] Assuming it is just the brass, it would seem that the best thing to do would be to contact Remington customer service and tell them what is going on. The fact that the primers seat very easily, then back out, would point to pockets that are too loose. They should be 0.002" smaller than the primers themselves. It doesn't sound like that is the situation. Just as an exercise in curiosity, I googled how to 'tighten primer pocket' and got nothing (well, not true; I got a tool that would "condition" shotgun primer pockets, but that doesn't help you.) It seems if you could "crimp" the primer pockets a little bit, it would salvage your brass. Thinking about ways to do that, I came up with this thought, but you'd have to experiment to see if it would work. You would take a spring loaded 'center-punch' to an unprimed case and punch near the edge of the primer pocket in a triangular pattern around the primer pocket. That should displace some of the brass inward, making the primer pocket 'tighter'...in theory...if you find the right distance from the end of the primer pocket that works 'just right'. I'm sure someone has already created a gadget or tool for this. There is a gadget or tool for EVERYTHING! I just couldn't find it. Someone will chime in, I'm sure.
