Here is the story. I bought some Winchester 7.62x54 brass from Midway and I have been having some trouble. I deprimed some of them so I could tumble them to remove any excess lube. Something had been contaminating my powder and giving me all sorts of headaches and after thoroughly cleaning my dies and still having the same problem I decided that it almost had to be their fault.
The plan was deprime, tumble, reprime.
I am now finding that the primer pockets are out of spec. At least they are out of OUR specs. They are all the same, which is to say that they are all wrong.
I called Midway and they agreed to accept the return and give me a credit but that still leaves me short a significant quantity of brass that I REALLY wanted so I could handload for my M-39.
I got to looking at the situation and I did managed to ream out 20 of them with my Lyman hand reamer but it is becoming clear that there has to be a better way to do this.
Is there some sort of bulk production doohickus I can get to do a whole lot of these at once?
Also, who makes the smallest large rifle primer. There has to be some variance between manufacturers...
Thanks.
