    Thumbs down Winchester 45 colt brass primer seat no go

    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 ??

    Bill

    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.
