Was reloading some once fired Hornady whitetail 308 ammo and noticed the primers were extremely hard to install using my Lee single stage press.
Found some info about Hornady crimping 308 ammo so I used my deburr tool to open the pockets up a bit. Primers went in but took about all the force I could put on my lee single stage press to seat them just below flush. Primers don’t look to be damaged (see pictures)
I plan on getting a reamer but I have 20 rounds loaded with very tight 210M primers. This is the first time I’ve loaded for this gun(recently got it a few months ago). I’ve never hade primers require so much force to seat them.
Is there any concern of shooting them?
