bgc Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Damn crimps. And my new Lyman primer pocket uniformer is not the same measurement as a Federal primer.....!@%^$#@!^%$#@^&!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgc Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

survivalshop Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 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.

hobbesgunner Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 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.....
