[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2153557, member: 115658"] Just curious - I can measure depths of primer pockets with the tail of my calipers and have found Hornady brass to have a primer pocket depth of .123-.124: PPU's .123-.124: Win .124-.125.; all large primers/pockets. Depth variations appear to be minor. I use a Lee press mounted priming tool with a standard #2 Lee shell holder and there is a .035" step-down slot to allow "proud" primed brass to be inserted/removed from shell holder. As this is press mounted tool, huge forces may be applied to seat primers and I take care not to squash primers as to flatten primer corner radii. Different amounts of force can be observed/felt upon seating primers depending on brass and primers but they can be all seated slightly below base of brass without squashing. No problems, except for when brass having primer crimps has not had the crimp adequately swaged out. [/QUOTE]
