[QUOTE="243winxb, post: 1789261, member: 97793"] Your definition of "blowing primers"? Primer pocket expanded, Primer fell out? An expanded pocket is high pressure. It may take up to 5 loadings till the primer fall out. When this happens reduce the load. Hole in primer? Could be gas leaking between the case and primer, loose pockets. Winchester did have a problem with some defects in the large rifle primers. [INDENT]As said above- "You need to understand the Weatherby chambering. The reason it has that long free bore is to reduce pressure." Bullets that jump to the rifling can be very accurate. A COL that is to long can cause powders not to burn correctly. A secondary pressure spike can be a problem when bullets move to soon. Use a magnum primer.[ATTACH=full]165220[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]165221[/ATTACH] Maximum COL 3.560" [/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
