[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2847196, member: 15054"] Pretty much spot on. You may take the culled cases that you think the primer pockets are too loose on and at least seat a primer and know for sure if the pocket is too loose. I had an RCBS primer pocket swager tool..It left all the primer pockets in my .308 cases too small to seat a primer. In other words it was a POS. I had to remove the crimps with a chamfer tool or pocket knife. Try seating primers in the pockets that you assume are good and then try a few in the culled cases before you go tossing them. Yes you can remove the primers from cases also. And then reuse said primer after. If you have a lot of 223 cases with large primer pockets chances are the case head is large also. You can run the entire case through a Lee carbide factory crimp die for a 380 ,, basically a bulge buster. [/QUOTE]
