Them there primer crimps can be a *$%$#@.

Is it that the primers are going in to tight or too loose ?

I use my RCBS deburring tool to chamfer the pocket to take anything left over off from the uniformer or my primer pocket swagger .

I have even taken to ,just doing that with the 5.56 I cut down & form for my 300BLK & makes the primers go in nicely, but tight .

Also works on the 308's.

Some brass likes certain manufactures primers better than others.

Too tight. I will be ordering the Dillon Swaging tool.

After fighting with the 7.62 loads, I did make some of the nicest 308 Winchester I have made to date.  ;D

Have you tried to use a tapered deburring tool to take the crimp out ? I know quite a few loaders that do it that way .

I have the RCBS primer pocket swagging tool & it works fine ,but I still ream them a little just to take the edge off , it puts a slight taper to help the primer alien & feed into the pocket easier.

After using the Lyman tool I use an old philips head screwdriver to roll the edge of the pocket ..doesn't remove any material and makes a nice little bevel/radius to start primer into pocket.....
