Federal 210 Primer Problem

[GrocMax]

With the primers sticking up .015", can you even chamber it? If you can, and it isn't a hard bolt close you aren't using enough seating force when priming, lot of primers are slightly larger OD or something.

Although you mention new commercial brass this also happens when you use once fired military brass that the tapering of the primer pocket the crimp causes hasn't been removed all the way.

Fed 210s have always seated harder for me. Using a hand held seater makes it really easy to tell the difference.

I'm using Fed 210's ow in my .243WW brass and .22-250RP brass - NP in either. If I'm reading my mike right, they're .1265 high or thick, whatever you want to call that measurement. My Fed 215's are identical. There is some leeway in measuring, mostly only a couple tens of a thousandth of in inch.

I have seated many thousands of Federal 210s and 215s, and have never had an issue. I find that they seat easier than some other primers.
