I have some once-fired Winchester 7.62x39 brass that disturbingly holds on to the old primers. Out of 30 or so of these cases when I resized and decapped them, in about 7 of these the top of the primer came off, but left the outer wall-rim of the primer still in the primer pocket.
How do you all clear out the primer pocket? (Can you/do you?) I've been thinking of buying a reamer or end-mill of the appropriate diameter and gently cutting out the excess material with an electric hand-drill. When this happens with say 9mm cases I just throw them away, but my 7.62x39 brass is precious enough I don't want to throw it away if I can salvage it.
