I am having difficulty uniforming the primer pockets on some .308 Lake City Cases. I believe that I have successfully removed the crimp, having run them through the RCBS pocket swager and also lightly chamfered the edge of the pocket.
When I try to uniform the primer pocket, the tool is too tight to fit into the pocket without binding up. Here are some measurements (diameter) that I made:
Lake City pocket: .206
RCBS Uniformer Tool: .208
Greek (Pyrkal) pocket: .210
So, it's obvious why the tool is binding. I can prime these cases with CCI #34 primers, but they definitely seat hard. The primers seat smoothly and positively in the Greek 30-06 cases.
I was hoping some of you could provide measurements for your military large primer pockets for comparison.
Thanks,
