Er don't.
i dont
good advice, I wont.
Looks like a Winchester primer failure to me.
Looks like a loose as goose primer pocket to me
No.These were Murom primed loaded for the AR.
Look closerQuote:

Have a look at your bolt face any pitting is a dead give away.
I get that with the Murom primers and federal cases for my bolt .223.
It doesn’t seem to be a gas leak as there are no marks on my boltface but quite a lot of my cases look like that after firing.

In that case the load is to hot AR's are not like bolt bolt guns you can't hot rod them ,Quote:

So, information information… It was rounds loaded to your AR and fired through a bolt gun, was reloaded for 1 AR and was fired in another AR or what?
Was it reloaded with the "same powder"??? Forgive me but i have batch of 223 reloaded with BM2 and another with 2208 and they have different powder charge, if you reload with the higher powder charge which the "wrong" powder it could be the cause of "this" thing.
As in one of the previous reply "I" also believe it can be a loose prime pocket or "something else" i cant think about right now. With a good look you actually can see 2 little marks in the case face, one in between "F" and "C" and other above the "22", at least they look "shinier"(if it is a word).
We reloader's pretty much "pray" about "one rifle load may not be suitable for another rifle, use with extreme caution".
Well, i am not an expert in any mains and it is why i am in this forum, to learn. I hope it may bring some light and be of some help. Forgive me if i wrote something that sounds stupid but "I" am human, at least i think i am, and we can make mistakes.

Different brands/types of rifles of the same calibre can & will have different chamber sizes, this is why you don't use reloads made for one in another, if you use a tight chamber reload in a sloppy chamber you will get quite a bit of expansion = blown primers, case head seperartion etc
I dont think thats quite correct. Factory ammo is made to fit easily into the minimum chamber dimension for calibre. Therefore theres lots of expansion going on even in a tight chamber. I see its a federal case, interestingly all the case related reloading problems Ive encountered have been with that brand.Quote:

Loose primer pocket, I don't even bother picking up FC brass.
Unless they're quite hot reloads then it shouldn't matter taking them from one rifle to another, otherwise you'd never be able to buy factory ammo.
I tend to not share ammo between my rifles, but sometime if i'm running low on .260 reloads I'll use a couple of 7mm08 loads.
Can be pretty tight closing the bolt, but I've never notice any pressure signs on the primers.
Haha, speaking of that, my brother in law managed to accidentally fire a .308 round in his Tikka .30-06 last weekend.Quote:

He was off hunting yesterday and luckily H&F managed to get him up a replacement extractor, despite my advice he hasn’t taken it to a smith to check it over so hope all goes well on his trip this week!

Unrelated but that firing pin crater looks huge
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the crimp still in the pocket?
Like Savage1 said, I don't even bother reloading Fed .223 brass. Waaay too much hassle

Looks to me like a blown primer like what use to happen with the Winchester primers quite often. I don't buy Winchester any more simply because of that. I don't think changing rifles caused the problem, I think it is probably a case/primer problem.
As for using same loads for different rifles, many of us do it all the time. If you have a pet load for 1 rifle, you try it in another before load development and if it works, no point in changing. Saves a whole lot of grief at the reloading bench, and then when shooting to ensure you have the correct load for each particular rifle.
I used to load for for 3 rifles.
Had a load that worked and when we hunted together never had to take too many rounds as your mate had the same.
Full length resize though.
as others have said if the load isnt hot rodded and is full length resized it will be bugger all different to a factory load.
I wont use a hot reload in different rifle but have no issue with other loads....
if I was owning more than one rifle in same calibre (as people I know do) you can have rifle spacific loads but you also have loads that will work in them all....just like factory stuff...... those multi rifle loads will be sitting in glovebox/belt pouch/top pocket of pack/drum of bits buried at hunting camp so you wont ever be short of a load or three if youve just had blazeing row with Mrs before heading out door to go hunting and forget to grab ammo.
had a mate come up for 4wd trip up major river to go hunting,he arrived with 7mm mag a .243 a 12ga and a humble 10/22 and all his ammo was left sitting on bench at home 5hrs away apart from the 50 rounds of .22lr ammo in the glove box....... he had great time shooting hares from wagon and glassing thar up in the bluffs.
