[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2274757, member: 10755"] A harder primer cup won’t help. I am 100% confident this is a gun issue, from a bevel on the bolt face leading into the firing pin hole, not a pressure issue. The stupidest thing about cratered primers is the fact that when you go to re-chamber a fired round, the bolt is hard to close…the reason is the crater is being forced back into the bevel and if it isn’t oriented exactly the way it came out, it will be tight. Why so many manufacturers do this is beyond me, there’s no need to do this and it is getting far too common. Nowadays, instead of bushing the bolt, I just replace them with PT&G one piece bolts with Sako style extractors. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
