[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 2042832, member: 104363"] I would bump shoulders .002 and allow up to .003, and see if that helps. I sample the loaded lot for chambering. Varget is good powder in my 30-06, but it pokes along at 2700 in my 24" barrel shooting a Barnes 168. If that primer is slipping out against the bolt face and cartridge slams back into it, it could be nailing those primers. Thats where I would start, looking at headspace, and primer seating, maybe slower powder and a different primer. Some of my FED primers do not seat as deep as others. Just go back thru everything and see what changes make the problem less severe. Test at the lower powder charge where the primers are flattening a bit using your fire formed brass with .002 bump.
