I just sat down to load up some .223 and I've got ~600 CCI SR primers that were recently obtained. I grabbed a prepped case (R-P .223 REM headstamp) and it is VERY difficult to seat compared to my Winchester SR primers that I have only used so far... Is this normal?
This is on a Lee single stage press, priming on the up-stroke. I've not found it difficult to use, like I said, with the Winchester SR primers.
I've done 10 and I'm fearing that they aren't seated deep enough for use in my AR... I'm thinking maybe that I should trade these for Winchesters or something. Or is this normal? I'm almost afraid of trying a military case, even with the crimp properly swaged/removed.
