[QUOTE="del2les, post: 1781149, member: 9299"] Back in the mid 90's, I ran into this with a couple of 222/223 varmint loads, and the only change was the primer. Loads I had used for years at safe pressure in my rifles, began to piece primers about 1 in 5. While preparing for a week long P-dog shoot in South Dakota at the Jamboree, I ran out of Remington 7 1/2 BR's and loaded the last hundred or so with a CCI 400 primer. After a few days, I began to shoot the ammo loaded with the CCI400's, and shortly found myself piecing an occasional primer. I ceased shooting those loads and finished the trip using the 243's. After arriving back home, I pulled bullets to weigh the powder charges, and after several, I found my powder weight was the same as usual. By now, my bulk order of Remington BR's had arrived, so I loaded as before and no piercing issues since. [/QUOTE]
