[QUOTE="JMyrkle, post: 1541290, member: 79751"] My question to you is are you using a hand priming tool or are you using a press to seat your primers? Inhave had problems with Lapua brass before having loose primer pockets and blowing primers out this is why I use a hand priming tool so I can feel how the primers set into the primer pocket. Also Barnes bullets being made from solid copper create higher pressures when the bullet enters the lands and can cause pressure spikes. This can be remedied by hand lapping the throat area. One way to check and see if this is the problem is to check your barrel for heavy copper deposits(hard to remove), if these are present you need to lap the throat as there may be small burs that are atomizing small amounts of copper from your bullets. That condition will also cause a pressure spike as the bullet seats in tin the rifling. Just things to check and good luck [/QUOTE]
