[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1633001, member: 69192"] Do you have a primer pocket reamer and did you use it. If it were my brass that is where I'd start, if they are tight then you have a primer tolerance problem not a brass problem. If you don't have a primer pocket uniformer they're like $20. I bought a Lyman ($20), took the cutter out of the handle and use it in my portable drill. I could not believe how much the primer pockets were out on some brass. I never realized the need for one until I started reading this forum. Did you measure the diameters of the primers? From what you have described it sounds like you have some oversized primers. I would also suggest that you give Winchester a call with the lot number off of the box of primers; they may have had a bad batch of primers. By the way, I have been reloading longer than you, of course you have to include [I]the flintlock years[/I] also;):rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
