[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 1623303, member: 807"] I've been processing a variety of 308 and 7.62X51 brass for an upcoming shoot and since this was all from someone elses rifles, I did the whole process. Size,Trim to length, swage out the military crimps on the military brass, then tumble to get rid of the lube. As I take the cases out of the tumbler, I check the flash holes on each to verify there is no media stuck in the flash hole. I then do the pocket uniformer thing to get rid of any carbon and make the pockets uniformly deep. As I was looking at the cases I noticed that there was a lot of variation in the flash hole size. Not just one brand of brass, but among all of it. I had to uniform the flash holes as well. I use a Dillon pocket swage to remove the crimps, and its possible that I'm pushing brass from the original punching back into the hole. I may have to machine an insert with a recess in the end to avoid this. Has anyone else experienced this? Blitzfike [/QUOTE]
