Imperfection Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 Soft primers. I've had this quite a number of times with Remington small pistol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markm Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 I’d also say soft primers. Noting to indicate high pressure as the primer hasn’t flattened. Are they factory loads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow white Posted September 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 They are home loads 11.2 hogdens 4198 powder and cci small primers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markm Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) I load 11.4. Any signs of pressure issues on the case? What weight bullet? Edited September 13, 2020 by markm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow white Posted September 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 No pressure signs and using 20 grain heads are you using Hornady heads I was thinking of using nosler Armageddon 20 grain but would like to now what the Ogive is from base of head so I can compare the seating depth with Hornady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windswept Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 Are your primer pockets cleaned out, the right depth and are the primers seated fully? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markm Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 I use hornady 20’s. As per this thread that’s all I can think off. Only other thing is, your firing pin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow white Posted September 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 All case cleaned, primer pockets right depth and primers in flush with cases like been said before I have think soft primers as it would be happening to all of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windswept Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 The only other thing I can thing of is excessive headspace, i.e. the round is too small for the chamber and there's too much room between the bolt face and the primer.

Doggone Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Does your firing pin need adjusting, it looks a very deep strike on the other cases, which might be stretching the primer surface excessively, leaving it thin enough for the explosion to punch through Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Pierced primers are not uncommon, its just that most people don't notice them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
