Have looked in all my books and cannot seem to locate Small\Large Primer Pocket Dimensions, thought awhile back I had a diagram\illustration shown critical measurements.
The reason I ask is I have just prepped some cases and the pockets seem loose so i want to see if they are in spec, don't need primer blow-by on a new bolt

Thanks

If the primers seemed to seat too easy, tap the primed case (45 degree angle on the head) on your bench.

If primers moved up at all, scrap those cases.



My normal method is to use a manual Lee decapper.

If I can push out a primer with just my hand, then I scrap that case.

I couldn't find my link to the primer pocket drawings.

Who's got my back?

It's a poor quality image but should work:

The diam are under the .210" so I guess I am GTG, I also tried tapping the cases hard and they don't move, the main reason I am concerned is I don't want pockets being loose and get leakage and damage the bolt face like this one from my M1A (SAI replaced it at NC) and pockets on this brass seemed tight
