[QUOTE="emp1953, post: 2746903, member: 71817"] Are they reloads? I had a guy at the range was experiencing an inordinate number of light primer strikes, in two different rifles. I'm not one for coincidences. He lived close buy so I asked if I could watch him reload. About two weeks later he told me he was ready for a session. I found that he was using large pistol primers because large rifle primers were impossible to find. I had a dial caliper in my tackle box which I used to show him how much "shorter" the pistol primers were. His loads looked normal because the primer wasnt seated all the way. When he finally found large rifle primers and loaded again his light primer strikes disappeared. I realized you are using BR4's so not pistol primers. Just sharing this experience. [/QUOTE]
