reloading 44 mag S&B brass

[mickb]

Couldnt get primers into once fired brass. Or rather wasnt game to try and squeeze the priming tool any harder. Anyone else found their pockets tight?

S&B primers are slightly smaller in almost all their cases, soft primers should be used carefully or do what I do and uniform the pockets. In rifle brass, due to the low reloadability, I don't bother with the primer pockets but it is worthwhile for straight wall cases.

Thanks mate I will just bin them I think. I only bought a box to test them.

They may just have a crimp.
I just use a stanly knife to shave the crimp off, easy peasy.
