    Greetings All,
    I have seen this happen before. Load worked up gazing at primers and such based on some extra hot loads for a wildcat rifle, no longer published. No "pressure signs" but the cases looked fine but were stuffed with expanded primer pockets. One of the reasons I work up loads using the chronograph. We have mostly heard the wails of "but there no pressure signs" over a now defunct rifle or buggered cases.
    Regards Grandpamac.
