Happy to be here
So I'll preface this with the fact that rifle loading is new to me...
I've been prepping a bunch of LC brass to load for an SPR I just put together. Going for accuracy here so I figured I'd uniform the inside of the primer pockets since I only have to do it once for the life of that brass and to rule out another variable. What hasn't clicked in my incompetent mind until tonight is that I've been doing the primer pockets before trimming.... On some cases the tool would dig in pretty good and I thought, "man what a burr" and it finally clicked that that particular piece is just shorter than the others. So now instead of uniforming primer pockets I actually have introduced varying tapers from 0 to ~.020".
