I went to reload some .223 rounds today and most of the primer pockets are screwed up from the factory staking the primer in. What is the point if this? Why is this only done on 223 brass? Its gonna be a pita to have to reamer every piece of brass just to reload. Plus it destroyed my rcbs dies, bent the **** out if my decapper. Federal brass seems to be the worst, but the remington brass isnt staked along with a few other companies. Why do some stake and others dont.
