I have used the Hornady primer pocket reamer on about 100 lake city 5.56 brass, but I had a few that the new primer went in and seated with very little pressure. It just didn't seem like the normal pressure it took to seat the others. Could this be a problem as in the new primer not being held in the pocket tight enough ? Perhaps I am using the Hornady primer pocket reamer too aggressively ?
