Is anyone seeing variation in Federal 209 primer size? It seems like they are more inconsistent at the flange. Some do not want to go on the bolt face.

If anything it’s more normal for them to be out. You could try different brands to see if it helps. Maybe polish your flange or use one of the brass 209 primer removers to install and wiggle. As a side note - I had better results with tight seating primers when closing the bolt. They keep leakage/blowback managed better. You might want to try the blackpowder section of this board for better info on the shotgun primers. |

I find that cci and federal primers have a wider flange the last few years that they did back 5+ years ago.
