So I have a handful of of W45colt brass and primers will not seat. Like not even start!

I tried 3 different primer manufactures and not a one will seat. The pocket seems to be about .003 smaller than new Rem LC brass.

Any views ideas ??

Try a primer pocket reamer for large pistol.

You are not by any chance using large rifle primers are you?

Did that still to tight.
I reamed and used a case mouth tool and the primers now seat. I also noticed the brass rim is different than the other manufactures. Must have been an outsourced run of brass. It is about 20 pcs.
