[QUOTE="elmerdeer, post: 348438, member: 7381"] Here is the problem I ran acroos today, I have 2 times fierd brass that was going on 3rd firing today, they were PFL resized. This brass fired some loads that had pressure signs, Ex:extracter marks and slightly sticky bolt once in a while. I did back down from those loads some. So here is what happened today I loaded some of my favourite loads and tried them with the cci 250 mag primers instead of the fed 215 primers. I did back down first and worked my way up, Now withe the origianal primer fed 215 mag they would always fire, with the cci I had 20 out of 45 rnds not go off, now I am wondering what could it be? Did I trash my brass by shooting hot loads, but my primer pockets are still pretty tight. My action is a Stiller Predator, my caliber is 7mm Dakota, and my brass is Norma. 1) Is my brass the problem? Primer pockets are still pretty tight. 2)Are the cci 250 mag primers different in size, height, width, to make my firing pin not strike them hard enough? 3)How deep should primers be seated? I always seat primers with my rcbs hand primer and after the first squeeze I rotate the brass and squeeze again, never had a problem doing it that way before. 4)Can ther be something wrong with my firirg pin?
