Has anyone experienced primer pocket expansion from shells loaded to higher than normal pressures? I was given a few hundred ( once fired empties ? ), and have found that I can push my Federal 209's into the primer pocket with just finger pressure, and some of them can actually be taken out again with my fingernail. I've also noticed that some of these empties have pierced primers, but look new in all other aspects.
