This was my point yesterday. Inevitably, some primer pockets are not uniform. This will cause the primers to not seat fully. I used to use a primer pocket reamer to aid with getting the primers fully seated, but that did not always work. The primer pocket uniformer in this kit works awesome:

If you want consistent loads, which chamber well in your automatic pistol, this tool is invaluable.

Don't know how you guys seat/install primers, but in 30 years of puttin' primers in pockets I have had no problems seating primers in "un-uniformed" pockets. I don't remember the last failure to fire due to a mis-seated primer, it's been many years. I disregard "below flush dimensions", I just seat primers all the way to the bottom of the pocket. Works quite well in my semi-autos (even my M1 Garand), revolvers, and single shots so a Primer Pocket Uniformer is of no value to me...
