[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 215587, member: 10"] If the cratering on the primer is the only pressure sign you see and your primer pockets are holding snug, I would not worry about pressure as its likely caused by the size of the firing pin more then anything else. Why modern rifle makers will not put a 0.062" firing pin in rifles loaded to high pressure is beyond me as this would solve the issue. Its really a non issue as long as your not piercing primers and there are no other pressure signs. All alone, I generally do not see this as a legitimate pressure indicator. As far as the lower BC bullets working at long range, certainly they will. That said, if the wind is blowing or you have multipul wind directions you have to deal with, the high BC bullets make it easier to dope the conditions simply because they are less effected by external forces(wind). I have never said the conventional BC bullets would not work well at long range, I have only said that the high BC bullets make hitting the vitals at long range much easier in less then ideal conditions. In good shooting conditions, any accurate bullet will get job done for sure. [/QUOTE]
