flattened primers
Every since I started reloading, folks have been telling me that flattened primers are an indicator of excessive pressure. I honestly dont believe it anymore. I usually load to the max reccomendation for hunting but I did reload some to the starting specifications for 3 rifles and they all still have flattened primers. Doesnt it stand to reason that as brass gets reloaded that the primer pocket just gets worn down, hence any old reload will puch it back out? Were talking about minimum pressures of 40,000 psi here. It seems to me shadetree engineering at best to stick solidly to this theory. What do you think?
