Half the servicos aventuras primers I have used fail

Always gotta be 1 in the group….!!!

I would never pretend to know it all or be the ultimate source of the only correct opinion in a discussion. That’s just not my style.

Thank you.

Works for me ... The revolver I know to have a weak mainspring and the one with a short stroke gave better than expected results. Judging whether or not a primer has “hit bottom” by looking for a “crush ring” has worked for me for quite a while.

You have reached the "Zen" state of primer seating. Kudos.

Doe's anyone know if the Fiocchi primers are metric?

Fiocchi follows CIP standards.

Yes, Fiocchi primers are made in Italy and Metric sized.

I solved my problems with them by seating to bottom using the adjustable Franklin Arsenal Perfect Seat Priming Tool with adjustable seat depth thumbwheel and a heavier hammer spring. I use them for development and practice only.

I like to see a full circle impression of the seating stems face. But I don’t like to flatten the whole primer.

I don’t think I get that mark regardless of amount of pressure.

You use a Lee?

Personally, I have ONLY primed on a Dillon 550 whether it be progressively or 1 at a time single stage style when loading rifle stuff.
Have only set the primer to the bottom of the pocket fully-----never having to "flatten" a primer.

You even quoted @Walkalong :
...and nowhere does his statement say to "flatten" any primer, just seat it fully so the cup "swallows" the anvil legs.......




I think there is waaaaaaay to much thinking here.............................


THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION...............................squish 'em like a pancake it that's what works for you..........................

Well now we’re talking heresy—pancakes are to be fluffy not squished flat.

And, ironically perhaps, that’s what makes your advice so trustworthy.

No sir. I use a Frankford Arsenal hand prime, the same one @BRatigan describes above. I will sometimes use a Lee Ram Prime when my hands are feeling the years. I used a Lee Hand Prime for many decades and decided to skip the on press priming for good long ago. I don’t even remember why now but I have never regretted the decision.

I think we’ve covered this for now
