[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2178210, member: 101791"] I go by flatten primes. Not even creator primers. If I recall the 2 times I blow a primer out of the case there were ejector mark too. I do watch for ejector marks at the same time, in case I missed something. I haven't been the ejector marks in a very long time. That was the reason I stop using IMR powders for the most part, because they were temperature unstable. That where I got into trouble. Other than that I haven't created ejector marks after that. As I said or think I said if the case handles 70+ grains, I general increase powder loads by .5 grs at a time, below that .025 grs. I only load one case at the different charge weight, and all the cases are marked to note the order to fire in. The only IMR 4064 I use is in my 220 swift. There a lot of Reloader powders that aren't very temperature stable either. I been reloading for almost 60 years now. That doesn't mean that I know everything or anything about reloading by a long shot. Still on the learning curve at 73. Still having rifle being built or changing out barrels. I don't like slim barrels, and short barrels. 26"+ is my rule of thumb. light trigger pulls in the oz, and bedded action go without saying. As far as brass goes, changing over either Peterson or Lapua as I can get them. I have learned a lot over the past years here and thank the people here. I measure and balance beam all my powders.
