Thread: excessively tight primers

I was loading some new Nosler 7mm mag brass the other day and one pack of primers were tight, the next lot is excessively tight i.e, I cant get them to seat fully for fear of them going bang! CCI Magnum primers is what I'm using, I have found some variation in sizes between brands but never between packets of the same primer and never to the extent that I can't seat them.

when they go bang you will get a fright, been there

I must try those.... might stop the primers falling out

I was talking with a gunsmith the other day that would change the brand of primers he was shooting depending on how loose his pockets were getting. LOL but not within the same brand of primers

Actualy I can swap some fed 215 primers for the tight ones if you like.... Might keep some brass alive for a few more firings

Wont take much to tweek the load

I have some Federal primers I can use, whats the deal with posting primers? you can have these if they all prove to be tight

fastways take them ... not sure who else, most of mine have turned up in courier post but they would not liked that if they found out.. PM me if you find they are all tight and I will sort something out for you....
