[QUOTE="H T, post: 1051739, member: 80544"] OK, so having spend $$ for Nosler brass for my 338 Win Mag, I found the primer seating with Federal 215 gold medal match to be a real challenge. Found this thread and thanks for validating my problem. I mic'd three kinds of large rifle primers, W-W, CCI and Federal 215 GM. Measuring several of each kind, I found size-wise, the Federals were in the middle. So probably not the issue. Next I used a primer pocket reamer and the pockets were big enough in diameter, but shallow. Reamed the remainder of the box of 50, and the primers seated much easier and more reliably at the bottom of the pocket. Sharing.... :> [/QUOTE]
