If the modified primers are sitting proud, just use your adjustable primer pocket uniforming tool to take a few thou out.
You'll probably want to keep those cases segregated.

If you are being lazy (sometimes I am lazy) a 110gr Hornady and 7gr of Titegroup averaged 1,422 fps at 80F from my 26" M94 30-30 Centennial.
No filler needed, and I just used a std LR primer. SD...

...and to think, I was ridiculed for having 500 30-30 empties and 400 rounds loaded.
Sad state of affairs when a man cannot find something as basic as 30-30 ammo.

I still say Unique. Been using it for 47 years and I love it.
30-30 Win
30gr IMR 7383 (Lot 48000)
150gr Berrys plated bullet
Wolf primer

20" Marlin
Ave 1,615 fps ES (5 shots) 16fps
I have used 7383 in a handful of cartridges.
My fireform load for .348 AI is 60gr with a 200gr Hornady. Nice mild 2,250 fps, but enough pressure to make the new profile.

This bullet is designed to open at 30-30 velocity. It is not a bullet designed for 30-06+ case capacity.
Unless you are saying Barnes doesn't know how to design a bullet?
Or you have shot...
