Greetings,
I used the RCBS swagger to remove the primer crimp on some of my PMC brass. To my surprise, when I tried to insert the primers in the pockets, It was so tight that a)some primers went in but they were squeeze so much that they were flat and flush to the bottom of the case or b) it shaved brass on the side of the primer and they did not go in at all with "too much" force applied to them for my safety sake.
I solved the issue by using a primer pocket tool that removes the crimp by removing material instead of swagging the primer pocket.
Did I do something wrong with my swagging or is it normal for the primers to be tight like that? I used CCI 400, CCI 41 and Wolf 223.
Thank you
