Reloading GGG brass > Reloading

Didn't have any luck with search.

So I though I would start a thread on GGG brass.

Picked up a 100+ rounds at the range.

Went to reload them and could not seat the primer to below slush.

Measured the primer pocket to 0.089.

SAAMI height for small rifle is 0.115-0.125.

Hope this saves someone some trouble.

I measures a few more GGG all with less than 0.090

But I found a few FC with just over 0.100.

I just moved to a Super Swager 600

Can I be deforming the primer pocket?

Have not heard of any problems with them before. I have 700 or so that I'm in the middle of processing now.

I think it was self inflicted.

Too much pressure on the Super Swager.

Live and maybe learn

I may be dense but how would too much pressure on the swager reduce the depth of the primer pocket I don't use the ss600 so I might be missing something.

You need to adjust the swage for the different web thicknesses.

Dryflash3 is right.

I adjusted the swager with a tight fit.

Did not realize I could deform the primer pocket.

Lyman primer pocket uniforming depth tool will make short work of correcting the pocket depth.

I ordered that yesterday.

RCBS thought.

The RCBS one works just as well,

And if you have not picked one up yet, 8-32 coupling or stand-off makes for a good drill adapter.

This is what you get after fixing a 300+ screw up.

I like the Sinclair ones.

Just a precision machined piece of carbide.

Nothing to adjust or slip.
