Decided to bring this topic back up since I've gotten PM's about it from mentioning it before.
Primer pocket tightening tool. Some hate it,
Some love it.
I happen to love it.
I got the nub(S) made from Henry remple. Well known Canadian machinist and fellow shooter.
(More info here: http://forum.accurateshooter.com/threads/3862744/)
I wish I could attach videos here. If anyone's really
Interested send me a PM.
Made two short vids but took photos also.
Before photo(S) show me seating a primer in a case. When I shake the case you can see the primer pop out halfway.
I go ahead and use the tightening tool and voila,
No more loose primer pockets.
Then I check my feeling to ensure it's a good hold
By de priming the primer.
Now before people get in an uproar,
Understand when this tool has a place.
This tool should be used if:
-all you have is a loose/loosening pocket
-accidental hot load with no other case damage
You should NOT use this tool to prolong brass life if:
You're cases reached any type of "end of life span" i.e.
-cracked / split / splitting of necks
-severe* signs of case head separation
If you have a very light "rubbing" ring on your case heads they're probably fine. Best to check the inside with a bent paper clip to be sure but if you have a fine ring you can feel with your fingers on the outside, fugetta bout' it.
Anyhow, just a simple tool review to show you guys it really does work.
