    Larry,

    When using SRP or SPP how much do you drill them out?

    I use mostly the #28 drill but a #30 or a #29 works well also. The #28 is the largest diameter and leaves enough of a "shelf" at the bottom for the primer anvil legs to sit on for reliable ignition.

    Ought to be doing that anyway to prevent shoulder setback, since the 35 Whelen has so little shoulder to begin with.
