Ok, so the whole story is... I got some 7.62x39 brass to make into 6.5 Grendel. I got them home and ran 20 pieces through my Lee Grendel die. I primed all 20 cases with cci 200 lrp s using a Lee Auto Prime tool and loaded them up rather lightly with some IMR 4895 pushing 123gr ELDs (all I could get my mits on). I took 'em to the range and shot 'em all. I wet tumbled the brass clean and ran it through the same resizing die. Then I tried to prime them. CCI 200 lrp s from the same box I used the first time and out of the first 5 cases I got 1 primer shoved in, the other 4 I couldn't squeeze the thing hard enough to barely get them started. So I cleaned the pockets and failed to get them in again, so I reamed the pockets and still failed to get them in. So I got angry and primed them on my press by using all the force the press has to get them in, and it finally worked with about 3 out of 20 still barely protruding. Btw, mixed head stamp brass, mostly GECO, Winchester and S&B. What gives?
