I've got a bunch (couple thou) of Chinese 30-06 on M1 clips, which shoot and function just fine. Since they have Boxer primers, I thought it's about time to reload some of these for use in other rifles. Got a couple hundred all cleaned up, resized and deprimed, ready to go. Problem--- the primer pockets are all so big that the new primers just fall out! I mean, there is absolutely no retention. Beautiful brass but unuseable.
I thought maybe a coat of varnish over the seated primer, ALA military primers, but am concerned about gas leakage around the primer, the fit is so bad.
Any ideas? Scrap metal?
