Taken me a while to get back here...off topic ..people like my grandfather have been "graining" wood for decades...no secret there..
As for the primers ..when you seat them you should be able to feel them bottom out.. If I use the primer uniformer it makes them deeper..I can do 10 and leave 10 as is ..as long as I make sure they are fully seated they fire fine..
Just thinking out load...Dan

as long as they are seated to the bottom and the firing pin will reach them your okay.
I just had a problem with the adjustment on one of my shotshell loaders where it would seat the primers just fine but it would seat them so well it was dishing the bottom on the hull.
it was about 1/8" on many of them.
some of the shotguns would still fire them and some wouldn't.
it was mostly the older well worn guns that would let the firing pin reach out there and light them off.

Sept. 10, 2021 Steve left us. You are missed.
To briefly revisit this, I took Fiver and Ian's advice and fireformed all the cases I've formed for this rifle so far. Seems to me the shoulder to neck transition is visibly sharper. Look good to me. They also shot pretty well 1 3/4 group plus 2 fliers that I'm sure were me. 50 yards from a rest. 49 rounds[1 case AWOL]. Wonder what kind of velocity these are? 12 grains of Promo under a RCBS 200 RF. Mild to shoot, nothing like 48 grains of 4350.
