    Case prep question 223/556

    Question from a new rifle reloader.
    I bought a few thousand 223/556 cases from Wes, fully processed. I am having a hard time getting my primers seated all the way. I just bought a Lyman pistol pocket reamer wondering if that will help seat the primers. Is there something I am not doing that I should be doing?

    The primers I am using are CCI SRP seated with my RCBS Universal hand primer, they come out either flush or just a hair over and to remedy the problem I put them in my Dillon 550 to get that extra little push. Maybe they are all just right and I am overthinking this?

    I have loaded about 1000 rounds so far and I don't see any headspace issues so far, they are going bang. it's just a very very slow process, and I must say I hate loading these because of this problem.

    Any insight would be appreciated.
