Looks good. Primers still have round edges and I dont see any ejector swipe.

The cratering looks like you have a big hole and a small pin...

Its a Remington 700.
Fired m855 right after testing and didn't get the raised lip on the edge of the crater. Really, my only concern.

These averaged about 3850fps with a 40gr pill

I'll share the data if you want it after we perfect the recipe.

Looks good! So you know mag primers are thicker and don’t crater as much.

I have some 223 loads that the primer looks like what you posted when I use cci 400 primers, when I use wsr or federal 205m they look normal.

Those came off izzy's shelf. Pretty sure they're CCIs

Good, it was not just me thinking I was on that other site; late Friday in the general discussion area.

it looked like the primers were pushed out a tad - but hard to tell without rubbing the bottom of the case.
