[QUOTE="housebuilder56, post: 981650, member: 26601"] I know this is an old thread but they show up in search results so reply may still be of benefit. I use a Sinclair hand primer. Not the fastest but that wasn't the original question. From my perspective it works the best over all. But I can't quite figure out how the OP determined that .001 was sticking out of the pocket. You cannot see .001 and it would be difficult to measure in this case except with a dial indicator. I suspect the problem is in excess of .001 o inch. I have had this problem in the past and it was the primer pockets that were the problem, not the primers. Primers will crush into what ever space is available for them given the amount of force exerted, even with a hand primer let alone a regular press. The culprit in my case was rounded edge at bottom of cup and easily fixed with pocket reamer. Don't know why this happens but it does Most folks I suspect never notice a very, very slight anomaly in depth. Doubt that it matters much to anyone but a bench shooter or maybe varmint hunter. Hope this helps someone. [/QUOTE]
