"Fire Forming" shotgun brass
 
Fiocchi primers are a larger diameter than other makes. So much so that you can push other primers in with your thumb after using fiocchi primers. What I am wondering is that if a shell was fired using a smaller primer, would the brass fire form back to better fit the smaller primers for future use? Anyone have any experience with this?

Brian, A primer pocket resizing tool like this one will salvage hulls with stretched primer pockets HTH

Tryed it once Brian Did,nt work. Just leaked gas past the primer. Slight amount of soot around primer.

First I have herd of one of those tools. I am goinh to have to try one.

Thanks for experimenting guys. I figured that the brass may be a bit thicker there or at least the smaller hole would be harder to shrink by this method.
