Am I doing it wrong? Primer Pocket Uniform and primer seating...

[TheCoyote]

I have always just used the priming tool on my RCBS Rock Chucker press. It is clunky and slow but it works.

Now I'm down a rabbit hole. Would another tool make my handloads more accurate? Should I use a pocket uniformer? Should I spend money on another priming tool? Would there be a noticeable difference in ES and SD?

I currently have been washing my brass with the Frankford Arsenal tumbler and steel pins. It gets the pocket really clean.

7 PRC ADG brass. Current ES:30 and SD:10 with 10 shot groups.

I uniform the depth on mu 7prc adg brass pockets to make sure the primer is below the case head so I can get accurate seating depth measurements.

More accurate ammo? Not likely.

Personally, I wouldn’t go through the trouble of uniforming.

I have the Primal Rights CPS and it’s sped up my loading significantly. That’s where I’ve benefited the most - less time at the bench.
