[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 84324, member: 1290"] No way you are hurting your barrel. I accidentally got some pistol primers in my priming tool. I did up 50 regular 22-250 loads like that. I traveled an hour and a half to the killing fields and guess what. Almost every one of those primers pierced. I was getting a little puff of smoke out of the action on every shot. It was war. About 35 shots later my Ruger ceased to fire. It got so much crud up in the firing pin hole I had to disassemble the bolt and clean it it to get it back in action. I finished up the 50 rounds and no damage was noted to my boltface. My load varies depending on the weather from as much as 42 grains of H-380 down to 39 grains in Remington brass with CCI-250 primers behing 50 grain Hornady SPSX bullets. (Ball and magnum powders give me better extreme spread numbers when I use magnum primers. Usually less than 10 fps) Digger squirrels really hate that load. I had a bunch of Norma brass for my 22-250 and it wouldn't run with my Remington brass so it got jacked on the ground. [/QUOTE]
