    Nosler 22 Hornet Brass

    I'm finding that Nosler .22 Hornet cases have very tight primer pockets. I had to use the priming arm on my Lee Classic Cast to get the leverage to prime cases with CCI 400 primers after trying and failing with the Lee hand primer. Also had to chamfer the edge of the pockets to get the primer started without crushing. Anyone with this experience? Would a different primer brand help?

    the cci's do come in a little larger than the other brands.
    which is odd since they are the smallest in shot shell applications.
    we are talking .001-2 which could make all the difference.

    All the Nosler brass I've used have tight primer pockets. It's also really nice brass
