[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1565016, member: 28965"] The biggest problem I have is with the bulk once fired Lake City 7.62 and 5.56 I buy. The military uses CCI #34 and #41 primers and the anvils are shorter. And a standard primer pocket uniformer removes more brass than with commercial cases. Also every primer pocket uniformer I have is set at the factory for cutting depth, even the adjustable uniformers. Meaning I would never adjust the uniformer until after seating a primer and it was above flush. The first thing I do to check the uniformer is to make sure the uniformer removed the rounded corners of the primer pocket. This insures the primer cup is allowed to bottom out and put a preload on the anvil. That being said I seated primer for well over 20 years without uniforming a primer pocket. And only do it now because I'm retired with nothing to do and all day to do it. [/QUOTE]
