I just started reloading with Fed No. 100 primers for my CZ Shadow. Have notice the fired primer looks flatter than usual. Usual means comparing with fired factory ammo and my handloads.
My previous handloads:
Range fired Rem. cases
4.3 gr. Titegroup
Zero 115 gr. round nose jacket bullet
CCI small pistol primer
Very,very light taper crimp
OAL = 1.135
The fired Federal primer looks much flatter that same load using CCI primer. Is it a pressure problem or is the Federal primer made of softer material.
Thanks
