[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1253319, member: 28965"] I uniform my primer pockets and if you did you would see a lot of variation in primer pocket depth. Meaning when uniforming very little may be removed from one case and on the next case you keep reaming and thinking you will never hit bottom. I do this religiously with all my cases fired in my AR15 rifles and M1 Garand. Also the military print shows that the primers should be .006 below flush for 5.56 and .008 below flush for 7.62. I drink too much coffee and have chronologically gifted eyes to see any accuracy difference. But it makes me feel better knowing I'm making high quality brass with uniformed primer pockets and flash holes. On the flip side of this and you do not prep the brass you can blame your fliers on the case not being uniformed. :D Below, 7.62 Lake City and commercial contract 7.62 ammo has the primer .008 below flush.
