Further to the Remington hull primer pocket dimensions. I was measuring the STS vs AA pockets with a pin punch set. Picked one with a slip fit on the AA that goes all the way through. And entered the STS then stops short.
Yesterday turned a gauge that is a nice snug fit all the way through the AA hull. Pushed in the fresh de-primed STS it stops a measured .01O short = Ten Thou short. Reaming with a tapered hand reamer from the mouth opens the flash hole enough for the gauge to slip through snug fit. No doubt about it the Remington hulls primer pocket is different.
Have not loaded any of the reamed STS yet. When I do will measure primer depth carefully comparing to factory some of the reloaded STS that gave my tight Trojan trouble. And some of my AA reloads, see what that says. Real test is will they function.
