[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1389184, member: 4191"] I blew a primer today (1/15/2018) in my 30/375 S.I. This is a cartridge designed by [B]elkaholic[/B]. It's been a decade or longer since I've ejected a reloaded casing with no primer.:mad: Was using Reloder 26 in my 30/375 SI. It was the lowest powder charge of the 4 loads I had planned to shoot while conducting an abbreviated ladder test, measuring MV with a LabRadar. It was the only load I fired after the wisp of smoke and blown primer. By blown primer, I mean when the fired case was removed from the chamber, the primer was missing. The primer was intact, but laying on top of the magazine follower. Haven't investigated causes yet, but will pull bullets and reweigh charges on the 3 remaining, unfired cartridges. A mystery. Primer pocket swelled about 0.005" - 0.006". Hoping to be able to sort out the cause... [/QUOTE]
