[QUOTE="DocGlenn, post: 2704727, member: 5122"] OK. I had similar issues on my CA rifles, a ridgeline and a MPR, both 6.5 PRC. I got a lot of good advice from the guys on the forum, but what ultimately solved my problem was simply seating depth. I was seating my bullets out too far, and that was causing ALL of my high pressure signs. Blown primers, swipe marks on brass, heavy bolt lift, it all went away when I started seating my bullets deeper. No way to tell if that will be the same for you, but try it. I think CA rifles have much shorter throats than a lot of factory rifles do, at least that's my theory. It was an easy fix once I figured it out, and now both rifles shoot VERY well. Hope this helps some. [/QUOTE]
