I machined these primer modules to fit Federal primers. Some other primers might fit a little tighter, You could take a primer pocket uniforming tool and open them up a little. But be careful not to open to much or you could have primers falling out.

Your barrel will continue to file after three shots. How much depends on the lpowder and the characteristics of your particular barrel. You should be okay as long as you start with a lose fitting bullet. If not, you will find out soon enough. If you reach a point to where you struggle to get the bullet seated with two hands, I suggest you stop and resize from there. It is a real pia to get a bullet stuck in the barrel.

I finally got to the range and shot some, not very good at all, I loaded 63 grains of 4198 with Hornady sst bullets just to try it out for function, it functions but the combo of bullets, cci large rifle primers and bullets sized ---possibly a little small----even with fouled barrel I could not even get a 20 inch sot group at 35 yards...advice?? I don't have 200 pitman 300 grain bullets and when I got back 1 started from scratch with resiser and they fit a good bit tighter , what next??

Size the bullets where they go down with 1 arm of force, not leaning on it force, and use a wool wad between the powder and bullet.
