I'm guessing that the tightness of the primer pockets on European brass may have something to do with their using the metric system.
But that's just a wild guess.

If you ever want an exercise in futility, try to put Wolf primers in Peterson's brass.Incidentally, Petersons boasts of making primer pockets intentionally too narrow to get longer reloading life out of them, so it isn't always the fault of unit conversions. Best have some mightily pliant primers for that Peterson brass when it is new.
This is so true. They seem to be a fairly hot primer ime.Yeah, that would be bad. The Russian primer cups look like they were trimmed to height by dragging them over coarse sandpaper. The burrs are terrible, so they are very hard seating in normal primer pockets. Work great when you finally get them in, but it is a struggle to do that.
I loved Wolf. Very accurate primer. I could get 5 or six more loadings out of brass with loose primer pockets by using them.This is so true. They seem to be a fairly hot primer ime.
The nice thing is, I still have about 6000 in stock and about 3000 still loaded. About 12 years ago I picked up 15000 of them for $120.00 from a friend of mine. Boy are those days long gone.I loved Wolf. Very accurate primer. I could get 5 or six more loadings out of brass with loose primer pockets by using them.
Yep. Miss those days. I used to buy them for less than $20 a thousand. I think I am down to 800 left.The nice thing is, I still have about 6000 in stock and about 3000 still loaded. About 12 years ago I picked up 15000 of them for $120.00 from a friend of mine. Boy are those days long gone.
