[QUOTE="ken snyder, post: 513475, member: 26019"] The rifle shoots factory loads without problem, it shoots loads for a different rifle with out problems. I can not even consider the Rifle has a headspace problem. The rifle has an ammunition problem. Try this grab the barrel and twist as hard as you can, is it loose, I will concede if it is! The only time oal is the head spacing is when the bullet is stuffed and headspaces the cartridge off the bullet ogive, oal and headspacing are not the same thing. I am willing to bet a dinner and a carwash that the problem is the 1 out of 3. Don't forget oal is maximum magazine length, and makes no implication on throat depth or the ogive on the bullet. Take the rifle and get the headspace adjusted, but do not shoot anymore defective loads in it -- sounds harsh, but blowing primers out of the cartridge is only a matter of time before a 100% guaranteed catastrophic life changing event. unless you think there is the possibility that the other 2 loads are magically screwed up just right to eliminate the problem - harsh but something I would tell my best friend!
