[QUOTE="jesbion, post: 268302, member: 14731"] As a bolt man...sometimes I push pressures to higher points than any autos that rely on standard pressures...when I do, the primer is an indicator of any problems in high pressure, so I want to make sure the primer pocket is kept tight, and no polishing, no matter how little, is going to help the fit. When you polish, you remove brass, or whatever metal you polish...that is increasing tolerances in the most critical spot in the cartridge, no matter how little! Tumble before, then clean the pocket...and keep it safe. [/QUOTE]
