My primers are protruding significantly out of new ADG brass. Is this common?
It is new 338 RUM brass. I am using Remington 9 1/2 M primers. I also tried Federal 215 primers, which aren't as bad but still protrude.
My measurements using only a caliper are.
Remington Primers .134 - .135
Federal primers .128 - .129
Primer pocket depth on the brass is .127 - .128
I always thought that uniforming primer pockets was a preference and not usually a necessity. Meaning, I don't think most guys buy brass and assume they will have to correct the primer pockets. I'm sure some shooters just assume the primer pockets will be usable as is. I would assume the average guy just reloads new brass and goes with it...
What do you guys typically see?
Thanks in advance for your input!
