I starting prepping a lot of 3k WCC nato 9mm brass. As a habit from mostly only loading rifle (any my OCD), I started to uniform the primer pockets.
But after uniforming 500 of the brass I realized how big of a task I got myself into and really do not want to finish. Am I going to notice much of a diff if the uniformed/non uniformed get mixed together? I will still need to debur the flash holes because the Dillon super swage pushes alot of metal over the hole. |

I don't understand the differance between uniforming and deburring the flash hole.
The primer pockets need to be swaged because it's military brass. As long as the primer hole is clear your good to go, especially if it's just range ammo and not going to be used for self defense or match compentition. Most reloaders when they reload on a progressive press do nothing to the primer pockets. It goes from deprimed to reprimed with no cleaning, reaming , uniforming, brushing , cleaning. |

I just dis 2K WCC 9MM NATO brass Each operation of prepping the brass turned into a chore I did not uniform primer pockets and found about 1% of primers were too high when I primed them ( I did everything else that I do to rifle cartages )( these will be used in competition ) The choice is yours and it depends on what you will use them for, just check for high primers ! |

Is your DSS adjusted properly? If there are any burrs or obstruction around the flash holes, I would use a flash hole deburring tool to clean them up. As has already been discussed...uniforming or even cleaning the primer pockets on handgun brass isn't really worth the trouble. |

Haha, using a drill. I swaged all of them and more than 1/2 have metal bent over the flash hole (inside case). So I will still have to take care of that. But even then 9mm cases are small. Hard to hold onto. Are you sure you're not over-swaging them. I've been using a Hornady reamer for NATO 9mm cases- $10 or so and well worth the cost. |

Did you EVER REALLY notice any improvement in accuracy by "uniforming" the primer pockets of your rifle ammunition? I never did. Yes, you need to remove the swaged primer pocket--which can be done quickly with a primer pocket swager, and then only once. Next, if you did see any improvement in accuracy (and didn't just do what others told you you "needed" to do), do you really think it matters with a handgun that is lucky to do 12 MOA on a good day and then only out to about 25 yards or LESS? Let your OCD take you the range more often and not sweat stuff that doesn't matter. PS: if you want accuracy, don't trim your 9x19 cases as that just increases head space and hurts accuracy. |
