Thread: First time reloading 270win

The weather gods smiled at me today. Sea level, 12degrees and no wind. Perfect!!

Centre of target still a bit of a blur for me (yes yes I know, get my eyes rechecked) but results as follows:



No pressure signs on the cases that I can tell. Maybe bolt lift getting a touch stickier from 52gns upwards but not getting any worse at 53gns but I wouldn’t say abnormal.
Also fired the one round from initial batch (51.5gns) that would chamber freely. On target but looks like it blew a primer.



Your analysis, ladies and gentlemen, would be appreciated.

Just spotted this. In my opinion that is not a blown primer but a primer manufacturing fault. There was a weakness in the primer cup which perforated when fired. With a blown primer from high pressure the primer would have fallen out of the case.
