Vapodog,
Out of your 7 points copied out of the manual, only the flattened primer shows; IF I use Federal primers. NONE of the other signs (1,2,4,5,6,7) are there.

Now, if I use ANY other primer than a Federal, I don't get any signs flattening. So if the Federals flatten out, in your opinion, does that mean that my reloads are creating too much pressure?
