[QUOTE="epoletna, post: 2043635, member: 87371"] Primers that are "too easy to seat" makes it sound like your primer pockets are enlarging. I cull brass that feels like the primer goes in too easily. That said, I would expect to see serious primer flattening and cratering before you reach pressures where the pockets were being enlarged. Your photos don't make it look like you have those kinds of pressures. If your primer pockets are indeed becoming larger with firing, you need to reduce loads. How many times has this brass been reloaded? [/QUOTE]
