Why would you launch into using that tool if you haven't done some basic measurements to understand the nature of the problem?

Fair point. My understanding of swaging is that it trues up primer pockets regardless of dimension, ie cold forging the brass back to spec. This is given that they're too tight/ distorted, not too...

Take vernier (all handloaders have a vernier don't they) and measure depth of primer pocket. LRP pockets run around 130 thou depending on brass brand. Measure primer thickness. There is quite a...

Looking at the curved line on the bottom of the primer it appears that the primer pocket was not lined up with the priming seating cup. You may want to run a case in the shell holder down onto the...

I had similar problems with ex mil 5.56 military brass. I think you'll need to borrow/buy a swaging tool. RCBS makes them, they press the primer pocket into uniform size. It will be more...

Yup done plenty, wear eye and ear protection and do it gently. I've never had one go off but if it did the above precautions would be plenty safe
