Questions, primer pocket dimension & 62 gr load

[gemini1]

Okay, so I'm done resizing/depriming, cleaning and trimming a few 223 cases for my test loads. And now for a couple of questions.

On primer pocket:
What is the inside diameter of the primer pocket? (from new brass, maybe?)
When I measured some LC brass I got from Freedom Munitions, the area close to the flash hole(?) is about .167 and goes to .174 as I slide the caliper outward. When I tried some Winchester brass, I got .169 inside and .174 as I move to the outer edge. With crimp pocket casings, the outer edge of the pocket hole is around .173 - .174. Do I still need to de-crimp? Anyone with new (unused) brass

On 62 grain bullets:
I got the commercial 62 grain solid lead core (non magnetic) bullets, from Everglades Ammo. They dont have the specific manufacturer for these bullets, they said it was specially made for them. So I'd call it "generic"
I dont have the Lyman 49th edition yet, but I have the load manual that came with the 223 Lee dies, a basic reloading manual from both Hodgdon and Accurate as well as online load info from Hodgdon, though it does not mention anything about 62 grains.
Is/are there any other info the Lyman book can provide (other than load dates)? Or can I go ahead and start a few batch of test load (from minimum)? I was adviced that if there's no mention of 62 grain load using Hodgdon, then I can go in between the data given for 60 and 63 grains (which are both 22.5 using H335). Oh, and I am using Wolf primers and LC brass.
16" 1/7 twist barrel, if that makes any difference.

Thanks guys

To be safe, use the data for the next heavier bullet.

Don't look at the numbers. If a primer seats easily, you're good to go. If it does not, remove the crimp.

To be safe I would remove the crimp from all LC and WCC cases.

@Cheep, the next heavier bullet (63 grains) and the lighter one (60 grains) has the same load, 22.5 grains. Unless you're talking about the 69 grains which is 22.0 grains.
Also, will it make a difference if I'm using LC brass? I've read that when using mil brass, the load should be lower than published data since it has less capacity?
And what about primer brands? does it also make any difference on load weight? I'm using Wolf primers.

Thanks
