Although I have reloaded for over 50 years, I had never reloaded a Hornady brand case until a few months ago. I had fired two boxes of factory Hornady 25-06 cartridges and decided to reload these instead of cases that I had available of other brands. Here is the problem: I could not find a primer that would seat below the surface of the case head. I made a cutter to cut the primer pockets a little deeper and after doing a few cases, I soon said why do this when I have Remington and Winchester cases in abundance. Are all Hornady cases like this or does it take a special primer for these cases I don't keep up with all of the new stuff because I'm very set in my ways when it comes to guns and reloading. This is the first factory Hornady that I ever fired in my life.. The primers in the factory Hornady ammunition look funny and appear to be awful soft upon inspection after firing. Someone who has loaded Hornady cases please give me some information.
