Most folks use either a swaging setup or a reamer from Lyman, RCBS, etc. Size you'll need is Large Rifle. 
In my book a pioneer is a man who turned all the grass upside down, strung bob-wire over the dust that was left, poisoned the water, cut down the trees, killed the Indian who owned the land and called it progress.  Charles M. Russell

That size should be correct major.

Lare and small primer pockets have same diameter whether rifle or pistol.
At least in the U S

Waiting on the Lyman hand ream to complete and then size the brass.

I was reasonably aware of the process, just had never done any... so I proceeded both inexpensively and gingerly.

Actually, it was simple and painless, I'll now be on the lookout for Milsurp brass 30 06 flavor.

the first 10 are reamed, annealed and primed.
