    No military crimp ebf. Its hornady custom brass and its non military calibres im loading. Just a 90 degree sharp outer edge on the outside of the primer pocket. Most other brass I use has a curved/chamfered edge and the primers slip in nicely.

    Take them back before you go marking your bolt face.

    I had two batches of Winchester primers ( the brass ones) in two calibres blow out. Neither were hot loads.
    Just my experience. Not dangerous, just messes up your bolt face.
    See the seperate thread on Winchester primers.

    Another mate recently had three out of 100 let go in his Rem 700 5R 308, a few bits of shit hit his face, so without glasses they are definitely dangerous.....

    He was pretty pissed off, with both the Winchester primers & himself, especially after I told him not to use them....

    Not much damage to the bolt face compared to others I have seen, but still visible damage none the less that degrades the value of his very nice rifle....

    Nothing wrong with using magnum primers, if you have an existing load with standard primers it pays to back off a grain or so & work back up again.

    I won't load any Winchester primers after seeing all the damage they have caused...

    Not if they knew you were loading for the 270win. Probably all they had.
    I haven't had any experience with those.

    Some guys will have no issue using magnum primers but I personally wouldn't.
