Swage the primer pockets.
Swage or ream the primer pockets
Independence Ammunition is loaded by the premier manufacturer for the Israeli military, IMI, to NATO specifications in premium brass with an “FC” head stamp. This brass is properly annealed, making it perfect for reloading after primer pocket swaging. Primers are crimped and sealed for dependable ignition in any weather. The taper crimp is centered in the bullet cannelure for reliable feeding in semi-automatic firearms. This is high quality ammunition at a great price, making it the perfect choice for target shooting, training or simply stocking up. This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, in boxer-primed, reloadable brass cases
That's what I thought. I was hoping someone had a magical answer that didn't involve any more labor. :D
Unplated primers have a slightly smaller diameter than the plated types. You might try them.
The brass is worthless please ship to me for proper disposal.:bigsmyl2:
end it to me as Girty has volunteered to tap dance on it so no one else will have to go thru the same pains and suffering you have.[smilie=s:
"That's what I thought. I was hoping someone had a magical answer that didn't involve any more labor."
Labor is the part of reloading that you must make your peace with. It's always going to be there and you must learn to like it.
It's not whether it involves labor, but rather whether it gives you an excuse to buy more equipment to save you a few minutes worth of labor. :)
I also like the rcbs press mounted swager, price is reasonable to.
4 seconds on the custom Ream-O-Matic has resolved the issue :D
