I have had this happen to me twice now....Nosler brass for a .280 and now their Creedmoor brass are a bit "too tight" for Fed 215M primers. I use a Lee handheld tool, and I had to use "extreme" force to prime a few trial loads. I am going t shoot them ( StaBall/110HH) I just fall back to Winchester WLR Magnum. I probably don't even need a Mag primer in the Creedmoor/StaBall combo, but since it is a ball powder, and its new to me, thought I'd hedge my bet. Anyone using Nosler brass have this happen to them, is it just a Lot# thing? And what primers do you use when you run into tight pockets??

I often find Federal 210M primers to be a tight fit in several kinds of brass.

I’ve had a few 270 brass that I chamfered to get the primer seated. Not sure that was a good idea, but it worked.

They have a tight hole.
Might run one or two thru a de-crimper to see if that helps.

The only thing I've used Nosler brass for is .223 Rem. It seemed to stretch more than the Win or Federal brass I have.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

There is a tool made that will rectify that.

With 243 and 270 Noz brass it was a toss-up whether I was going to break my thumb or my Lee priming tool with WLR primers. It motivated me to buy a RCBS Bench priming tool, which easily squished the primers into the Noz pockets.
But the Noz brass was so soft even minimum loads would produce ejector marks and I soon tossed all it. But I still use the bench tool a lot......
