Looking for primer pocket dimensions and tolerances

I am venturing into reloading and as I am gathering information I have not found a reference on-line with the dimensions and tolerances of primer pockets. Lots of discussion about care and feeding of the same, but no hard dimensional information. (All my forum and internet searches have failed me.) Can someone point me to a reference? Thanks in advance!
 
So far so good. Read all the article, very useful. Now I would like to know the diameter and tolerance of the different pockets? Still no luck finding those.

Dave Berg,

The last batch of Lapua .223 brass (brown box) that I bought, the primer pockets were a lil deeper as well. My Sinclair uniforming tool would not touch the bottom and had to use the one for the BR case instead.
 
I think this is what you are after
