LOCHFAL,

It may be that you have an usually short chamber that won't allow these catridges. Seems strange as that would be out of SAAMI specs, but .... this happen with any other bullet type/profile?

BTW, I had some real problems a coupla times with the Rem .444 Marlin nickles - primer pockets out of round & generally yucky (to be technical) ... all the reg brass was fine though.

& Coin, re the primer flipper ... that the type with all the concentric circles? Fresnel-type?

If so, the "to be struck by the firing pin side" has radiused edges & slide over the circles/ridges. The other side of the primer is relatively sharp & grabs the ridges causing more resistance which flips 'em over. Simple & effective.
