You know...I have been reloading for several years but I wonder if I am correctly seating the primers. I like to seat them below flush...002" to .006". After uniforming the primer pockets of some winchester 223 brass....I could not get the primers to seat below flush without the concern of crushing them. They are flush with the casehead so...will they be ok to shoot in my ar without the fear of a slamfire? Ars have the floating firing pin, I know
Thanks |

Man...I am sorry...I proof read my post and made the corrections. Man...it's been a long day.
I am using the rcbs primer seating tool to seat the primers in these cases. I can feel the primers bottoming out in the primer pocket...but they are flush with the case head. I am afraid of crushing the primers forcing them deeper. |

pdh,
Is this the on-press tool for the rock chucker or turret or progressive, or is this the separate bench mounted tool, or it the hand-held unit? I can commiserate with you on the primer seating deal. First, the three legged anvil hits bottom. Then, the cup edge hits bottom. Then, you can get a few more mil down below surface by flattening the dome surface of the primer cup a bit more. And this does not affect the function. Be careful with the uniformer, if you decide to adjust the depth. You can drill down too low, with the result that the primer top sets too low below the surface. |
