[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 1621891, member: 78056"] Actually, if you use the right Loctite, the stuff works just fine! You want the red, #271 Stud and Bearing Mount. I have bushed primer pockets with the stuff and other than being way too labor intensive, it did work and lasted thru several reloadings. Now, if you want really scary, try putting a crimp on a primed case... with a center punch! Never did it on a loaded case but even a primed case would at least scare the beejeesus out of a body! I've never had one go off... so far. The problem is, I'm so cheap that by the time I put all the effort of decapping, cleaning, trimming, sorting, etc., there's no way I'm going to toss a case unless it's really, really bad! Little cracks don't worry me much! Loose pockets get either the loctite or punch treatment and then it gets shot. THEN it gets tossed into the scrap bin! I shot "seconds" for so long it's almost painful to shoot perfectly good ammo! When I had my reloading business, everything I shot, except test loads, were seconds... neck cracks (in pistols, as long as it doesn't go below the bullet... rifles get the bullet pulled), smeared primers (anyone that loads with a Dillon knows what those are!), corroded brass, basically anything I wouldn't sell.
