Question for 308 Palma brass experts

[Ned Ludd]

I have Lyman hand primer pocket swaging tools for both 223 and 308 that work fine on standard Lapua brass. However, the 223 tool does not reach all the way down to the bottom corners of sm rifle primer pockets on 308 Lapua Palma brass. Any suggestions for a hand primer pocket tool that will actually reach all the way to the bottom?

Been there...
The palma brass is cut with 6mm ppc primer depth which is deep enough the standard 223 primer tool will not reach. You have two options
By an adjustable primer tool or buy the sinclair fixed PPC primer too.

all the best

FWIW I have a Sinclair SR Primer pocket tool that does reach the corners of my Lapua Palma brass.
