I'm new to rifle reloading and would like opinions about these primers. Is the amount of flattening I'm seeing signs I've gone too far, or am I still in good territory?
It's the primer in the middle I'm questioning. On the right is 26.0 gr CFE-223 under a 55 gr Hornady SP in once fired Federal brass and a CCI SR primer. The middle is the same except 27.0 gr CFE-223 (max per Hodgdon is 27.8 gr). For comparison, and the reason I was surprised, is the primer on the right. That is 27.0 gr CFE-223 under a 55 gr RMR FMJ in once reloaded Remington brass and a CCI SR primer.
