I *tried* to load up my first batch of .308 tonight.
I am using: once fired Lake City brass (most likely came from a machine gun) and Federal large rifle primers on a Dillon 550B.
I lube, deprime, then trim the brass. When I try to seat the primer, it only goes half way in. Yes I tried cleaning out the pocket and yes I tried *real hard* to seat the primer. I'm a newbie for rifle reloading, but have loaded thousands of pistol rounds.
Is it the brass? The primers? Any suggestions?
