[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 3006412, member: 4191"] Never a single blown primer. People that make this sound scary and risky, have typically never tightened up a single primer pocket in their lives. They hypothesize about all the reasons it shouldn't be done. The great fear of the unknown. Doesn't skeer me in the least. What crazymonky says is true. Except for his opinion that it's not worth the risk. Opinions aren't true or false. They're not a statement of established fact. My question is, not worth the risk of what? Nobody has tried to claim this restores the primer pocket to original factory dimensions the entire depth of the primer pocket. It doesn't have to, to return a primer pocket to safe and functional use. How many people who have actually tightened up a primer pocket using this method have experienced a blown primer caused by the tightened primer pocket, after the fact? The answer is accompanied by deafening silence. No one. Not yet. I wouldn't suggest this for folk that have 5 thumbs on each hand. But it's not terribly difficult. Pretty hard to screw this process up. Not much to lose other than your time. If you overdo it swinging a 10-pound sledge, or underdo it swinging a McDonald's straw, the primer pocket will remain unusable. The same as it was before attempting this process. [/QUOTE]
