[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2528236, member: 10755"] A catered primer is NOT an indication of high pressure IF there are no flat primers to go along with it. The cratering in this instance is mechanical…from the bevel around the firing pin hole. Also, an ejector mark is NOT always a sign of excessive pressure. It may be the springs under those duel ejectors are quite firm and the headspace may be a little larger on the first firing. I see no indication of excessive pressure on that brass….the primer pockets are staying tight, 4 firings in that brass says so. Hornady brass is softer than others, this also contributed to the ejector marks which are very faint looking to me. As I stated, the primer is what failed, not the brass or rifle system. Cheers.
