[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 71963, member: 25"] There are some brands of brass that seem to be softer than others. We get very poor reloading life with Federal in the .308 Win. for some reason. Primer pockets get loose with only one or two loadings vs a dozen or more with Winchesters. You may have a batch of cases that are slightly soft, the pressures may be somewhat higher in that particular run of ammo, you may have had some oil in the chamber which caused more rearward thrust - just a few considerations. If the primer pockets are tight I would not be concerned - not likely an issue with your rifle so much as an issue with that lot of ammo. If the pockets are enlarged the pressure was significantly high and I would toss the brass, not worth taking a chance of blowing a primer. [/QUOTE]
