[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 915533, member: 17844"] [b]Re: primer seating question update[/b] Remington primers are harder than others and in tight pockets they do need extra force. Remember the uniformer is not cutting any of the pocket diameter so that does not change . When you measure a primer make sure it's the skirt of the primer . The Anvil sticks out a small amount but that is not part of the skirt depth. When you seat a primer properly the anvil is pushed in flush with the end of the skirt as they both push down flat on the base of the pocket . The cup height for a Remington 9 1/2 should be about .119 so I think you are measuring the anvil also. I think you only think you are crushing them and it's this fear that causes miss fires . You should be able to feel the primer sliding in and then stop. Then add some extra force to make sure it's right down. [/QUOTE]
