I shot some 308 today that had 44.5 grains of Varget under a 169g Nosler HPBT bullet using a Winchester Large Rifle Primer. They were .010 from the lands. I fired the first and the bolt was "sticky" with the primer flattened. I fired the second and I had to whack the bolt with a chunk of wood to get it open. I didn't fire any more.
I shot this same combination before, except I used CCI 400 Large rifle primers. No signs of high pressure what-so-ever.
Have you found the WLR primers running hotter then the CCI?
(I unloaded the balance of the cases and will reload with 40.5 of IMR 4895 which has proven to be very accurate for me. So much for Varget)
