loose primer pockets

[davemastrianna]

Hi guys my first post. I was wondering if anybody knows how to tighten some primer pockets. I have APX 2-3 primer pockets that do not prime with the same resistance as the rest of the cases. I am talking 2-3 per 100. Lapua cases, Win primers,RL15 load not hot below max. Also this is the 3rd time fired. Thanks

There are some products that claim to be able to tighten primer pockets, but general concensus was they were useless. About the only thing you can do it try CCI or Russian primers which fit tighter in the pockets. But if the pockets in your Lapua brass have loosened significantly that usually is a sign that you're running pretty high pressure.

thanks a lot I will try the CCI primers. The load does not show any other signs of high pressure .
