Hi all.

When I'm priming .357 cases, the primers go in soooo easily - just the slightest squeeze plants 'em in there snugly, but when I do .45ACP, it is a LOT tougher to seat the primers. Why?

Also. Do you guys use a little tool to ream the flash hole inside the brass every time you reload it? My kit came with one, so I use it every time.....just didn't know if that was an absolute MUST every time. Thanks.
