[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 126243, member: 8"] [b]Re: \'Flattened\' primer pictures?[/b] Different brands of primers are made out of different metal. After a while of shooting the same brand of primer you can get a feel for the primer. Federal 215's are relatively soft and I don't worry until there is a crater and all of the round bevel of the edge is gone(Samspade's primer #3).

Additionaly, I will compare primers between different powder loads from the same chamber to help. The repriming operation is also a good time to evelaute your load.
