Loose primer pockets

[SSL]

I would use a tool called a decapping die and reuse primer in a tight case and toss bad case

OK for some people I guess. The one and only time I tried decapping a live primer (even working slowly and gently) it discharged. Not what I want in an enclosed area. I would much rather avoid the situation in the first place.

The BR brass doesn’t suffer from this phenomenon as bad as most other cases do. I had similar results as you but my 223,243, 6.5 creed and 30-06 in various brass brands definitely suffer from loose pockets at a much earlier load count. I’ve had 223 get loose in 10 loads.

Edit to add: Nothing against Hornady, I like them but their brass seems to “go to hell” so to speak the quickest for me, regarding the primer pockets. Tends to be really soft at the base compared to others.

Dan,
You are correct, Hornady should just stick to making bullets. Something that they are very good at doing! Brass not so much.
