[QUOTE="David_h, post: 2716186, member: 123918"] I read up on it when I had cratered primers with my 300 WSM BAR. Since I was not having any other signs of pressure I was going to live with it. However it started showing some pierced primers so I sent it to Browning and they replaced the gun. New gun has some cratering too but not as pronounced so I’ll live with it. If you live with cratered primers then you have to realize that there is one less warning sign to be used to assess high pressure. But you will still have the signs on the brass case (swipes, ejector marks) and you still can look for heavy bolt lift. On the Semi-auto bolt lift can’t be used to assess pressure. [/QUOTE]
