How to make it work out.

I just got done sorting 3000 223/5.56 cases. So a couple of friends and I are going to ship the odds and ends back and forth to end up with a larger amount of one headstamp.

Not sure I'd trust that red loctite... Seems to me that a crimp on the primer pocket would be a better approach. But I'm also of the camp that if a primer pocket is bad enough to need loctite or a crimp to hold the primer in I might as well buy new brass...

GOA and FPC have done more in the last decade than your NRA has done in it's entire existence... Support the ones that actually do something for you.
Do bear in mind the article was from 1962...
However, if One isn't sure of the "Red" Loc-Tite, One can always substitute "Green" Loc-Tite. Just pray you never want to remove the primer...

I just thought it interesting what kinds of things seen as acceptable practices 60 years ago.
I have a whole stack of American riflemean and a few others from the 50s and 60s that I have been looking at. Many things that are interesting and the same as today, or like this and different.
RW Hart used to offer a tool called a "Case Saver" that tightened primer pockets by swaging them smaller again. I have one for 22 caliber centerfires and it does work. I don't know that I'd want to use it on a thousand cases at a time, but it did actually work. This could be a big help for people who have rare cases with loose primer pockets.
I had some old formed .17 K Hornet primed cases from an estate find.
I decapped them to reuse the primers on an experiment - and found that half were seated with paper shim to take up the slack in the primer pocket.

Those had been run a little hard and put up wet!
