[QUOTE="emp1953, post: 1781054, member: 71817"] According to cohunt's chart, dimension "C" for small rifle is shorter than dimension "C" for large rifle. So the primers should seat deeper before bottoming out. If the OP is bottoming out the primers then a firing pin issue is less likely. More likely the change in brass brought a change in case volume and an increase in pressure. Either rework the load in the new brass as suggested by 25WSM, or reload and shoot only the older brass. Any change in any of your components changes the characteristics of the load and should be approached as a brand new load. [/QUOTE]
