[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2297482, member: 63925"] The primer has rounded edges but is flattened quite a bit with slight swipe mark. Just looks like to me on razor edge of serious pressure. Pressure on brass is not just an indicator the brass is showing pressure but is also showing your rifle is possibly in a danger zone for the pressure the cartridge is rated for by SAAMI. There is no such thing "my rifle can take it" when dealing with obvious sign of pressure on brass. Max loads cannot be assumed to be doable in every rifle. Its just the way it is that each rifle is unique in its build and may not reach book max loads just due to inherent build specifications. Read your brass and realize it ALSO an indicator of pressure safety for the rifle FIRST. This has nothing to do on saving brass but saving "face". This is not a rant against you at all but just a general statement on how brass pressure is ignored for cartridge rated pressure for the rifle. Like others have suggested, RL26 may not be the right powder for your task. It had shown yo be temp sensitive with pressure swings. Maybe RL23? I hope this was not perceived as an attack against ANYONE but just a comment on pressure. [/QUOTE]
