[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 684843, member: 5219"] I have heard the same sort of rule that if the brass won't make at least three firings without primer pockets getting loose the load is too hot. I read in an old issue of Precision Shooting an article titled Make Mine a 6mm-284. The author was getting loose primer pockets with just a few firings. His load was not near max but primer pockets didn't last long. His solution was to talk to the maker of his custom reamer and have him reduce the diameter of the case head portion. The brass still was able to extract fine but his primer pockets stayed tight for many more firings. None of the posters commented on whether their rifles were factory or custom. Might be interesting to see if there is a difference in primer pocket life. [/QUOTE]
