I bought 100 rounds of Norma 308 a good while back, primarily for the brass, but I enjoyed shooting it as well.
Today, I though I would load the brass for an upcoming match.
I started priming with Wolf LR primers,
WTF??!! The primers will barely seat using a Lee hand primer.
Fought my way thru about 10 and thought maybe there's a crimp.
So I got my cutter and chamfered ten and no joy. Still gut-busting difficult to seat the primers.
I thought maybe the Wolf primers are just a tad bigger.
Got the CCI LR primers, no joy.
Switched the 550B over to the LP system and tried there. No joy.
Has anyone had any experience with this brass? Its definitely LR primer brass as a SR primer just falls into the pocket.
Where can I buy a primer pocket reamer that will open these up just a bit? Sinclairs?
Its beautiful brass and I do not want to waste it.
Thanks,
