## Tutorial Description: #### https://rumble.com/v2o9szi-unsupported-anvils.html ### Unsupported Anvils Our success rate usually ranges from "Fantastic - only once in a Blue Moon" to "No matter what I do - my failure rate is about 2%". I think I can speak on behalf of all the members in the MeWe Group, "2% FTF (failure to fire) is not acceptable". We have been chasing down the causes of the "2%" for a considerable time. The "unsupported anvil" is a key contributor to the cause of these failures. Seat your primers as deep as your equipment will allow. The legs of the anvil should come in positive contact with the bottom of the primer pocket. Ideally - compressing the powder (by the anvil) a distance of 0.002 is ideal. This is known a primer's "Crush Depth". We are mostly concerned with FTF's but for accuracy and consistency see: Rim Thickness variations account for primer seating variations.
