I've seen several posts that mention "loose primer pockets".
In my decades of reloading I have not encountered this. I use an old single stage as my priming station so I don't get as much "feel" of resistance such as with a hand primer. So what actually constitutes a loose pocket?
Most of the brass I have scrapped was getting thin and/or starting to crack.
I am among those that don't mind reloading nickel plated pistol brass.
In fact I like to have a few in each batch because 99% of the time, they are the first to crack. I use light loads in my old age so the brass gets reused many times before reaching EOL stage.
