[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3323933, member: 15054"] Dadgummit! I was priming these .308 cases with some primers i got long ago and do not use any more. CCI # 34. I was getting a lot of loos fitting ones so loose i could tap the case head on the table and the primer would fall out!! Got to measuring the primer pocket diameter and was getting .210 give or take a 1/4 of a hair. Measured the primer that fell out .209" measured another on the bench .209" and another .209". Got out my CCI 200's and measured them .211" on all measured. I dumped 12 more CCI 34's onto the table and began measuring all of them. .309" .311" .311" .310" .309" ...OK these were bought years ago during the Aammo scare. QC missed on that batch. I bet they would work well in LC .308 cases those primer pockets are stupid tight in the ones I had. Yes Had..Things never shot good I had 500 of LC 15 .308. An RCBS primer pocket swager was of no use even 2 times into each primer hole you could not hardly get a primer in without crushing it. Ended up using an old timer pocket knife to chamfer the hole and that was better. [/QUOTE]
