[QUOTE="J-B welder, post: 2249503, member: 115997"] I think that is probably due to variation in primer seating depth. When I first started reloading I was very attentive to primer flattening and noticed that sometimes primers would be flatter in the lower range of my work ups than they were in the hotter rounds. Then I started checking primer depths more closely and also did some reading and came to the conclusion that primer flattening is not always a sign of excessive pressure. I have an old Lyman M5 I'm refurbishing, but don't currently have a useable beam scale to check the digital against. I use the check weight every fifth round to make sure the digital hasn't gone whacky. [/QUOTE]
