Bugger indeed.
Bugger indeed.
@Neckshot - are they the primers I sold you mate? That is the reason I got rid of them and switched to Fed 210's.
My bolt face took a hiding and as I was only learning to reload, I knew no better. Luckily Abe has cleaned it up my bolt face a lot compared to what it was.
If the bolt still functions then don't bother replacing it, there is an old fella at our local NRA range that has a perfect ring on his bolt face from it happening so much and his rifle is a fricken laser beam.
Have had exactly the same problem with Murom primers, rifle owners not amused!
Maybe this should be a sticky at the top.
After so many threads you guys shouldn't be using them.
Murom - initially LR in a 25/06, then SR in my own .223. Strong loads in both cases but no problems with Federal or Fiocchi. Not tried Winchester lately, gave them away when it appeared that the brass-coloured generation was relatively under-sized, around .0008" according to me. Not much, but enough to cause loose fit in pockets prematurely.
All Winchester primers? I have Lot No. TEL287G. Any one can check if any failure out of this batch? So far I have no problem. Thanks for helping.
