[QUOTE="Broz, post: 420906, member: 7503"] What twist is your barrel? If you are going that fast and you are tighter than a 1 in 10 twist you are getting in the area that accuracy with the Bergers may not work out well. If you are seeing pressure and want to optimise the 34" tube I would look into a slower burn rate powder. Maybe 50 BMG?? or Retumbo ?? But everytime I get to max with retumbo the primer pockets are toast. As for the primer fit question. You should feel the resistance of the primer going in. If you feel the primer is loose enough that it could slip back out any or might leak I would discard that case. Blowing primers is not anything you want to do, you could be injured, and for sure hot gases on the bolt face of your rifle will not do it any good either. Jeff [/QUOTE]
