[QUOTE="Les in Wyoming, post: 2168131, member: 115820"] I learned a great trick here which has saved me $$ on brass. Just passing it along. Put a ball peen hammer in a vice with the ball end up. Get a metal rod/flat punch/ bolt, etc that will fit inside the case neck and a little longer than the case. Situate the brass case centered upon the ball peen hammer. Strike the punch. This will bring the edges of your primer pocket in and will hold primers again like new. You will need to experiment as to how hard to hit the punch or how many times. If more than once, you will need to re-situate the brass to be dead center before hitting another time. I use this with 300 WM and have recovered a lot of brass that I would have had to throw away. It does not affect accuracy. It simply makes the brass useable again. [/QUOTE]
