Primer pocket depth?

[esheato]

While uniforming some primer pockets, the RCBS uniformer bit came loose and allowed me to accidentally change the depth to .200" for a few cases. Luckily I caught it before I did the whole batch.

What is the standard depth for small/large primers? I believe the bit from the factory is set at .145". Just looking to confirm. Thanks.

Ed, my Sinclair large rifle uniformer cuts to .130". With CCI BR2s that results in primers seated 4 or 5 thousandths below flush.

Thanks! I had re-set the bit at .130" originally thinking that was the correct depth but a friend on the phone said the RCBS unit was .145". Ehh..I'm splitting hairs here, but I trust Sinclair. Thanks again,
