[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2246526, member: 116181"] Do you have any other primers to try? A flattened primer is not always a pressure sign - absent carbon leakage, pin cratering, ejector wipe, or other signs it could mean excessive headspace. I don't thing you were hard jammed into the lands at -0.020" using the tools how you did. Reshooting with once-fired brass that has not been minimum-FL sized could change the primer signs. Shoulder measurements on new versus fired brass? COAL-wise I have two 6.5CMs that shoot fine sat out around 2.900" depending on the bullet (Hornady 140 ELD-M and Berger 153.5 Hybrid), just can't use the mag that long - neither is jammed at that length. The BTO measurement is dependent on your tools vs mine, but sounds reasonable based on your COAL. [/QUOTE]
