[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 667379, member: 10178"] Just looking at the primers I would say NO it does not have too much pressure. If you are referring to the protrusion around where the firing pin struck I would say that you have a little large firing pin hole in your bolt face or a week firing pin spring. This will cause that ring. It is not too much to be worried about unless you start to have issues with hard bolt lift from where the metal of the primer sticking into the firing pin hole starts to bind things up. You can have your firing pin hole bushed by a good gunsmith to correct this. Too much pressure would flatten the outer edges of the primers and yours are nice and round. Also you did not mention what the weather conditions were when you were shooting. If it was hot and your ammo was warm that could raise the pressure and cause the slight hard bolt life. I would not worry about it unless you started having really hard bolt lift on every round. That 154 gr Hornady bullet in the 7 mag is probably the best deer killing bullet I have ever used in that caliber. I know a bunch of people that use this bullet in the bean fields on NC for deer.
