[QUOTE="Reloader222, post: 792554, member: 25295"] I do not see the so-called flat-hat-top on the primer and even the flow of the primer in the firing pin hole, is not all conclusive. My .222 Rem give me the primer flow even at minimum loads because of an over-size firing pin hole. Each rifle is not identical, but I agree with other forum members if you are at max load and you get one of the signs and there is no other explaination for it, then back off the load with at least 0.5gr or even 1.0 grain. One thing is that it is a very accurate load, but try making it safe. A rise in temperature can cause a blow-up. Do you keep records of your temperatures when you test your loads? If it was tested in cold temperature, downloading is a must! [/QUOTE]
