| Primer pockets and flash holes in Sellier & Ballot cases are usually undersized. You can use a flash hole uniformer tool from Lyman or you should get a decapping rod which use the headed decapping pins. The headed decapping pins was engineered specifically to overcome the problem of the decapping pin to get stuck in the flash hole.
I had similar problem when I reloaded some 303Br S&B brass for my brother. CCI and Federal all were crushed due the undersize primer pocket. The Lyman primer pocket reamer also did not help enough. Solution was to use Remington primers. They still use copper cups and that seems to work or perhaps their diameter is just smaller than the other brands. I did not have S&B primers to see what they were doing. |
