    Primers - One better than Another?

    Are These Primer Pockets Clean Enough?

    I clean all my pockets, I have had some primers not seat deep enough when I first started reloading...From then on I cleaned all my pockets. I guess if you doing a thousand at a time it is tiresome. But I rarely load more than 200 at one sitting so it it not a big thing. I use a pencil wire...

    Bent/galled 45 acp cases from GI 1911
