[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 485158, member: 24624"] I'm no expert on this. But, a few thoughts come to mind. Is the scale calibrated? Did we accidentally dump too much powder? What do the primers look like on these cases? Is this a new rifle? Or, has it been fired many times without issues? Could there be an issue with the chamber dimensions that's overworking or overpressurizing? Did you trim to length properly? What's your bullet and seating depth? Again, I would expect primers to show signs of pressure before seeing something like this. What's the ID/OD of the necks on your fired brass? What's the headspace measurement of your cases from the datum line on the resized/loaded brass relative to new and fired brass? Have you run a box of factory ammo through it? [/QUOTE]
