[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1081423, member: 10755"] Often, switching primer brands can prolong a cases usefulness. Not all primers are the same diameter. I find Fed215 primers to be larger than Winchester primers and switch to them if pockets feel loose. As was stated, when primers fall out, it's a good indication you are running at excessive pressures, it makes no difference what load you are running, if pockets loosen that early you need to back off on the powder charge. A few loose pockets in a batch indicates either softer brass or you are on the verge of excessive pressure and need to drop back 1 grain. Cheers. gun) [/QUOTE]
