Does anybody else have any head stamp cbc brass the primer pockets don't seem to be as deep. They seem to be looser in the shell, holder and primers seem to be not Seating uniformly because of the looseness.

My CBC headstamp brass came from Magtech ammo.  I have not had any issues with it.

I just grabbed a handful of brass from the bin.  These have been wet tumbled and sized/decapped.  My handful included 3 CBC, 4 FC, 4 Win, 3 Starline and 3 RP.  I measured them all and the CBC were not in any way outliers.  Primer pockets measured .206" except one RP that came in at .207".  Depth was between .120" (FC) and .125" (RP) with most being .122-.123".  The CBC all measured .122" depth.

About the only thing of note on inspection is the CBC brass did have the three-point stake on the primer pocket.  I don't ever remember having an issue seating primers in this brass.  I have been shooting some newer magtech lately and it is possible I just haven't reloaded any with the staked pockets yet.

I found CBC / Magtech primer pockets to be on the tight side with some makes of primers.
