[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 946135, member: 48043"] Primers are very subjective and most people won't want to tell you yes or no based on them alone. Personally I use chrono speeds as both a speed and pressure limit more than primers. Primers can be watched as you go up but other things like primer pocket looseness, speed generated, brass expansion, how the rifle behaves (if she's cracking instead of simply barking and has heavier than normal recoil) mean a lot more to me than a flattened primer. Cratering is often a matter of firing pin fitment on the rifle, but if it comes out of nowhere and/or you start blowing primers at the crater you are treading on thin ice for sure. [/QUOTE]
