Primal rights cps

How tight are we torquing our barrels to this week?

Oh, wrong section, wrong thread.
You know where I stand on that one. :)

Right. And here I was going to send him one of these to test, but he clearly has it all worked out—I mean, if you can shoot 0s using the firing pin to seat primers, God bless him. He clearly doesn't need any addition refinements. :)

Is that Derraco primer system? Is it any good? Was just looking at it, seems cheaper then the Hornadys one, however I am not sure of the priming speed and functionality of the Derracos. Any first hand recommendations?
 
...and the variance between the primers in each respective box is just as prevalent.

So one seats that 0.118" CCI three thou below flush in a 0.121" pocket and think they are at touch...until the next one is 0.115" from the same box and the firing pin is shoving shit forward (thereby decelerating and dicking up the timing)...sometimes.

"Sometimes" and "Might" are not things I would want in my ammo boxes. :)
So if there's .003 variation in the same box are you measuring each primer and adjusting seating depth for each primer? Otherwise isn't this an effort in futility?
 
I don't have a CPS but I'll probably buy the Hornady one when it's released. I prime on my Dillon 750 but it's worth having a back up incase something happens. I've got a shitty old lee primer that sits in the corner in case I ever need it, the Hornady would be a nice upgrade from that.

No, sir, I set the anvil so deep that any variance is moot...."fully" crushed.

If only seated 0.002" below the case head, you would be spot on...but when you approach double-digits, no anvils are left behind. :)
