[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 2042796, member: 52437"] They are Winchester primers in lapua brass. I am using 131 grain Hammer Hunter bullets which supposedly have lower engraving pressure than like weighted mono bullets so typically can reach speeds of 100fps faster than other bullets which I am not near yet. These are 131 grain hammer hunter bullets and the low end charge was 40 grains of varget producing 2700fps speeds while the charge I worked up to was 43.6 grains varget and produced 2875fps. ALL the primers, no matter the charge, look like that including with other bullets I have loaded. Also, that being said, I did post a picture above of a factory fired round as well and you can see that one flattened a bit as well. Not as much as the reloads though. This is out of a 21inch barrel for a 7mm08 so definitely on the shorter side. [/QUOTE]
