[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1187883, member: 77249"] Been There Done That and my 700's got the scars to prove it. Many years ago I bought about 300 Large rifle primers. I am not sure of the brand now. I loaded a box of 20 cases for my 270 Win. Out of the first 8 shells 3 of the primers had black rings around the primer 360 degrees. Right in the bend of the cup a small hole not much larger than a hair. Looked at the bolt face, Had 3 gas cuts. Pulled the rest of the bullets out of shells. To save cases, bullets, and my bolt face. Junked the primers and kept a primer box so I not buy that lot again. Something about the primer cup material, Either impurities in the brass or the annealing was off and the cup cracked when it was formed. Crap Happens. [/QUOTE]
