[QUOTE="59FLH, post: 2292753, member: 108480"] You can choose to ignore the primer cratering if you wish, but the reality is it's brass flow. Primers are made from cartridge brass, the thickness in some cases is twice that of a cartridge neck, they are not thin. Things flow towards the path of least resistant, in this case perhaps it is into the firing pin hole of the bolt. I cant think of a situation when using gun powder that chamber pressure does not correspond to velocity and your .308 VL compared to the published book max is there regardless of your charge weight. There is nothing magical about any bullet that allows it to override the laws of physics, but its rumored that tight chambers at or near zero head space can hide visual pressure signs typically used for identification. Shoot safe and good luck with your 280AI. [/QUOTE]
