Bought my first 2k WSP since my regulars (CCI and FED) were not available. I didn't notice it at first, but seating them, in any brand case, sometimes they go in with little or no resistance.
I started looking at the "little or no resistance" thing after three primers fell out of the cases into the box of 100 rounds that I put them into. They all fell out in transit, as I found them all in the box after two of them didn't go off during a PPC match. Two of the cases were WIN, and one was an R-P. In loading the remaining two hundred from the first 1k, I noticed that at least 1/3 of them go in way too easily.
I suppose that the pockets could be worn out, but from my various brand(s) stash of cases, used over the years, I have never had a primer fall out of one of my personal reloads. Once, a friend loaded some for me and one primer fell out. Since then, I only shoot my own loads.
I have since loaded some of the same cases again, this time with CCI primers, and every one went in with a felt resistance. I was paying attention to each one, just like when I noticed the loose WSP's going in.
So now, I will go back to every loaded case with the WSP's and seal them. I did some of the last 200 by putting on a very small dab of plastic cement and smearing it into the back of the case. When dried, you can't feel any material on the case. We'll see how that works.
Have any of you had this problem with (any brand) primers?
What is a recommended primer sealer or technique? I have heard of using finger nail polish, but that stuff is pretty nasty to be around/breath for sealing that many cases. Not to mention trying to smooth it down. And, I still have 1k more from the same lot.
Thanks.
