I have a little 25-35/16 gauge O/U. I bought a couple boxes of 6.3x52 ammo because it had a correct headstamp for the gun. After shooting a box I sat down to my bench and prepared the cases. Darn primers won't fit. Small rifle are too small. LR's won't go in. I reamed the pockets with my Lyman tool for removing crimps. They still won't go in.
I had a small flash hole problem with S&B cases for my 7x65R. I had to drill out the flash holes so the RCBS decapping pin would go through. That was an easy fix. Anybody have any idea how to open the primer hole to .215, before I toss them?

Two easy ways to open the pockets.
RCBS Primer Pocket Swage
Dillon Primer Pocket Swage
Both are a little pricey but will last you a lifetime.

Why spend $30 in tools to salvage $20 worth of brass? Why not just resize cheap new .30-30 brass? I've done that for over 30 years to feed my .25-35s. Cases lasted longer than the factory .25-35 cases I had, which were quite thin.

Of course, the head stamp will not match the rifle...

Thanks guys. I thought those tools might work, but wasn't sure. I have a pretty big pile of old Lake City match brass from Camp Perry that helps as an excuse to but one.

Had similar problems with .303Br cases in S&B. I have also used the Lyman Reamer and RCBS Pocket Swager. Still could not fit primers without crushing them. I then did some research on primer diameter and found some Remingtons which had a slightly smaller diameter than the other brands. Only one primer was crushed. I used my RCBS Auto Prime. The Lee Ergo Prime was also crushing the primers.
