Fix Loose Primer Pockets

[SheepDog]

The easiest way to make primer pockets last longer is to use less pressure. Adjust your load to a pressure that doesn't expand primer pockets and brass heads and your primers will stay tight. If you can't get the velocity without the pressure then you need a bigger cartridge.

Don't know of the original OP will see this, but for anyone else who is interested, if I need brass to go one more reload, I just pull out the bottle of primer seal to hold them in place until firing. I do this mostly at 3-gun matches where I am going to lose brass anyway, so I try to lose the worn out stuff. If you are going to throw it away anyway, this is a good way to get one more cycle. Also, I have not seen bolt torching doing this, the primers are uniform, just loose, and when firing, they seal up nicely, and hold in the gases.

I agree with Chuck, but I did find this
