    Tight primer pockets

    I loaded up some 222 cases the other day, and found the primer pockets so tight I actually checked that they weren't 223 crimped in.
    These were FC cases. Anybody else found them tight?
    I over came it by using the inside neck chamfering tool to ease the primer start, but they were still tight compared to a Norma or PMC case that I usually use.
