[QUOTE="30BR, post: 1995720, member: 64079"] FWIW, In my across the course days, Federal 308 brass would ALWAYS loosen up without even touching the pockets. That was the life limiting element for that brass. In my 30BR, squaring the pockets every time, I throw the brass out after 40 loads, just because... Pockets are still tight. Bottom line; watch what you're doing and don't get too comfortable just because you've always done it "this way"... (I look at the primer pocket as the intake port of a race engine. Smooth is good, and sometimes bigger is worse.) [/QUOTE]
