[QUOTE="Josh06, post: 2586717, member: 111314"] Need some validation to set my mind at ease. A few weeks ago I was shooting my 280ai with a load that was previously worked up and safe, no pressure and below book max. I ended up having 2 pierced primers but believe it was due to condensation on the cases from keeping them in a cooler since it was over 100 degrees. I fired a total of 10 rounds, mostly pulling out of cooler, wiping the condensation then firing. The pierced primers were mag fed, didn't wipe off right before chambering so my theory is condensation developed on the cold brass while it sat in the mag and that caused increase in pressure leading to pierced primer.
