[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1913602, member: 10755"] Interesting, most primer brands require .003” crush AFTER the anvil and cup are flush with the pocket bottom. This may result in a primer .005” below flush in some cases. .003” in another and .008” in the worst of the bunch. Unless you measure, how will you ever know? My primers are .003” crush, measured after the cup and anvil are touching the bottom of the pocket. Funny thing, I never found an improvement uniforming a perfectly concave pocket, only more soot in the pocket when it was perfectly flat. Groups at 600 didn’t change either. Changing primer type had more influence in my testing than uniforming pockets. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
