Priming question...
Priming once-fired 9mm, Win cases. CCI 500 are nice snug fit, whereas Rem 1/12 slip easily into the pocket.
Yet to be range-tested, I wonder if there's something I should know? Thanks

Different brands use slightly different cup thicknesses and final dimensions. Nothing to be concerned about.

Unless they're falling out, no worries

Also as you proceed you will find that even with the same primers some brass has tighter primer pockets than others.

Rem 5-1/2's and CCI 550's are giving me fits with my Win 357 and Blazer SP 45 auto brass. Had my first ever fail to fire in 45 auto recently.
Switched over to a RCBS ram prime and the trouble went away. Keep an eye out for high primers. |
