Hornady Primer Pocket Reamer

[HKMark23]

Anyone who is familiar with this tool for reaming military 5.56 primer pockets; do you ream till the tool bottoms in the pocket or do you just take "a little" ?

I use the RCBS counterpart. It has fixed collar at just the right depth so you just keep cutting until it stops spitting out brass bits. Didn't yours come with any kind of instructions?

Nope. By design it looks as though the flat tip of the thing just bottoms out in the pocket and I doubt the design relies on feel. On the other hand the method does seem to remove more brass than I thought it would and I'm thinking the less the better.
