Sitting here staring at about 700 new 6.5 Creedmoor brass pieces and have my Sinclair primer pocket uniformer in a quick detach housing along with my power screwdriver. I typically do them by hand and have the brass shavings fall into white terry cloth towel while watching a movie. After going through about 80 cases, I got to thinking that there had to be a better way to speed up the process.

How do you primer pocket uniform? What method do you use and what equipment is at the ready?
 
How do you Primer Pocket Uniform?

I used to uniform primer pockets until some started leaking and etching the bolt face. I thought nothing of it until I saved some from an outing for inspection. The uniformer actually created a spiral vent for the hot gasses to escape. I stopped uniforming on that lot and never saw any hindrance in performance.

Although when I was uniforming I used the RCBS uniformer on a hand drill.
 
I use the Sinclair uniformer mounted in a cordless drill. I never try to uniform a case with the drill already running; I always center the primer pocket on the uniformer and then start the drill. It's much too easy to initially seat the pocket at an angle if the drill is already running.

I follow the same method with the Lyman uniformer mounted in my cordless drill.
