    Tight primer pockets

    Getting some 130 ttsx to test in the 308 so was prepping some once fired hornady brass as all the lapua is already loaded.
    Tried the lee autoprimer.......nup then the redding priming gadget on my press.....nup. Had a look at the primer pockets and they have a gay little lip there. Managed to get one halfway........then all the way with much looking the other direction.

    Turns out I used my deburring tool on the pockets to get rid of the lip, made it heaps easier but they are still tight as to get in.

    Anyone else had this? What the deal Neal?

    Fed Mag primers and Large rifle same same
