primer problem

[Lewdan 17]

Reloaded some rounds today, .22 hornet. When seating new primers i noticed a few were "easier than normal "when fitting into case, which is slightly concerning because i have just started a new batch of CCI primers, prior to these i used winchester. put a vernier over the primers and they seem ok only other option i can think of is over size primer pockets in some of my cases i think some have been reloaded about 10 times.. anyway do you think it is wise to use these cases another once mark them and dispose of after fireing.. any thoughts

At about £14 per 100 for hornet brass, i would dump em.

end of the line for the loose ones mate, the primer pocket has expanded with use,

 

dump the lot and buy some new brass...........

Agreed. Being new to this stuff, I am always cautious, so anything I'm not 100% happy with I chuck out.

Buy new brass, and if you've already loaded the batch with ones you thought were dodgy, pull the bullets on the whole batch and reload in your shiny new cases. In a modern rifle a blown primer probably isn't a major safety concern, but it could lead to a missed or wounded animal due to inaccuracy. Brass is cheap.
