Trying to prime the weird .500 NE cases I obtained I pushed two right out of the shell holder, bending little ears on the sides?! Too soft rims? Never saw that. Too tight or rough edged pockets? I’m not sure. So I primed like the old LEE tap tap bang method. After chamfering the primer pockets.

I loaded up (5) with 90 gr. RE-15 and some of Randy’s big plain base 510 gr. HP powder coated bullets. These are my fun for this next week.
