I did a search and can't find any similar complaints. Well, I bought a Hornady primer pocket reamer to use on some Lake City brass that I converted to 300 BO. I chucked the reamer into my drill press as I've seen some others online recommend. It cut the crimp out quickly and easily. I didn't discover an issue until I went to prime the brass. While priming the brass, there is almost no resistance when seating a primer. I've never had any primer pockets this loose, and they definitely feel too loose to use. Where did I go wrong? I didn't think this thing would cut deep enough to ruin the pockets. I just held each piece of brass on the reamer for a few seconds until it felt like it stopped cutting. Has anyone else experienced this? What do I need to do differently to use this tool effectively?
It's frustrating since I spent about 10 hours prepping this brass and now I'm pretty sure that I'll have to scrap it all.
