    Over pressure signs ??

    Fired my first vmax 53 out of the 223 yesterday.

    Looked at the bolt face and it had a dirty ring around the firing pin Name: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1388615855.460822.jpg Views: 1436 Size: 36.9 KB
    Then I looked at the fired case (left in picture ) and compared to a fired case from a vmax 40 load (right in picture)

    The primer looks pretty flattened to me .. Definite signs of over pressure to me.

    Opinions ?
