[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 715180, member: 9215"] "Reading" primers is quite popular because it's easy for magazine authors to write about and sound authritive as well as easy for readers to understand. Problem is primers aren't much to read when we're trying to gage pressures because most cratering and flattening and pin hole blow-outs are due to things much different from excess pressure. I've seen a swollen rifle case head with bolt imprints but the primer itself looked normal. Reading pressure from primers is about as hopeless as a Chinese guy reading a Greek road map of Turkey.
