[QUOTE="Tommo64, post: 1820646, member: 107976"] Thanks guys, that's interesting. I hadn't thought about the headspace issue. Apart from the flattened primers there have been no other pressure indications to speak of, e.g., stiff bolt lift, etc. For info, yes it is a bolt action. Brass has had a couple of firings, so not entirely virgin but probably not fully fire formed either. I have been FL resizing but only just enough to push the shoulders back a couple of thou. That said, if the brass is not quite fully fire formed this may be too much? Maybe I should just neck size for the next few firings? Seating wise I am nowhere near the lands as this rifle has heaps of freebore and as I'm trying to develop loads for hunting I have been seating to SAAMI COAL to fit the mag. Anyways, thanks for your advice. I think I will do the above and persevere with the light loads and see how things go. [/QUOTE]
