to touch on a couple of you fellas replies, the deepest was .009 to be exact. i went back and micd' em all a little more accurately. as far as cleaning my pockets all i used was a hollow ground screw driver that fits perfectly after i had tumbled just to take off the heavy and it worked slick.

also the priming rod was the large and correctly in place end to end.

i fired off the few t5hat were deeper then i would like and they poped off w/ out any problems and the firing pin seemed to be hitting about as deep as always. situation is taken care of thanks guys
