For what one has to pay for Norma brass, there should be no such thing as a bad batch. Same goes for Lapua.

Harold, clearly it is the gun. It has been used too much and has become unsafe. Being the kind of guy I am, I will make myself available to come pick it up and dispose of it for you...

Glad to hear you are getting at it again!

Sounds like quality control has gone downhill. I would ream/clean up every primer pocket so they are equal and that should solve the issue with primer seating. Bill K

Harold have you considered swaging the prime pockets instead of reaming the pockets.

A reaming tool or a swaging tool, both do the same job of making them uniform. Bill K

If I have to order one, which is easiest to use?

Most reamer tools are hand turned. Most swaging one's you use your press, so it depends of what you want to do.
I have both and use each at one time or another, mostly depending on how many I have to do. Bill K

Like Bill, I have and use both methods. I like to uniform flash holes and primer pocket depth but prefer not to remove metal on the primer pockets sides. I hate to have carry all the old military brass I've reamed since the 60's though.

So many of us, I bet, if we could count and say get just $ .02 per round we have de-crimped of military brass, would have a good income, I believe Bill K ( Think I started doing it in around 1953 when I started reloading)
