    Yep Noticed that --- Lupua brand new brass 308 , Fed210M primers, actually seems like the brass pockets on some are slightly small, pocket cleaner jams. I’m using my Lee press primer seater you can really lean on that, wouldn’t have a show with the hand gizmo. Also Remington 9.5 were similar, CAC OK and Winchester I have thrown away after news of blow backs wrecking bolts

    Crimped primers are usually military spec items.
