I didnt have a problem with my launcher..but i have a break-open Def-Tek. i would think that countersinking the area of the primer pocket shouldnt be an issue just to get the primers flush

Just like reloading any other round the primers should be just below flush, not protruding out of the case at all. |

It doesnt make a difference with any hinged launcher, but i could see how it might be a problem with a sliding barrel system like Spikes, or the Cobray knock-offs |

Thanks guys, but I am not sure even that will make up for the difference with the rim size of the plastic vs Aluminum. It's almost double. Is American Specialty ammo not a good place to buy from? Other issue I had was the the aluminum shells have different sized primer pockets and half fit "ok" and half fall out. I wrote them and they claim it's by design and to use tissue to hold in the primer?????

AFAIC all of the Yellow plastic cases have the same Dimensions..there are a couple of other case designs out there, but i havent used them. I would PM Grog, he's the 37mm Guru |

I bought the same aluminum cases. The primer pockets and internal dimensions do vary. They reccomend using a piece of paper towel or paper to make a snug fit. I have done it and it works. For the yellow plastic ones you should be able to push the primer fairly flat agains the back of the case. I have the 12" slide barrel and have had no issues with high primers not allowing for the tube to lock.

Ill recommend reloadableshells.com. The 37mm I use are $23 a piece, but completely worth it. The work great in my Def-tech and I can see them lasting a very long time.
I know the plastic shells are alluring due to their availability and price, but I can't see those lasting more than a few loadings. |
