And: Have you tried using brass hulls? If so, what do you think?
I use new Cheddites and scavenged RSTs (Cheddites) already 2.5" in length. Have to use a MEC Super Sizer since the metal is paper thin. Get multiple loads from each one on a MEC 600 Jr. with the short kit.

I believe Reloading Specialties still makes a Primer Pocket Peener that works to fix the pocket or you can use the manufacturer's primers.
