    2x WRE that fired RE16 with 140 BTs
    2x WRE same as above that didn’t ignite

    Also one more WRE that did fire and 2 x loaded rounds

    I’ll try and find my old school bullet puller tomorrow to dismantle the two that didn’t ignite. I did shake them and can hear powder inside…
    Man those primers are flat I've never seen primers sitting that flat after being installed.

    Oh man....milserp 223 when primer sticks on burr from crimp....the seater jams so just have to keep applying pressure to flatten itso can remove case...yet they still go bang. Scarey as fook.i take all other primers out of tray counting them as I go to make sure it hasn't done a double up(never has yet) I've learnt to remove crimp with tiny champher of pocket mouth with deburring tool.
