[QUOTE="C-130 Dude, post: 2868274, member: 122991"] BTW, have you called Savage and IMI about this? You should. IMI does load these to near max charge. They are also known to alter seating depth on the match rounds. Specifically, seating bullets short to magazine length so AR users can load them in mags. In some cases, this can cause overpressure. Rule of thumb: you can run 7.62 in a .308, but not the other way. (Opposite of 5.56/.223 rule). You must check pressures to be safe. Most current gun makers today build their gas guns to use both 7.62 and .308 ammo. I used to have this primer problem. I changed my bolt/firing pin to a JP Enhanced High Pressure bolt with small diameter firing pin. No more primer issues. Stay safe and have fun! [/QUOTE]
