What caused this primer failure?

Last night I fired 5 handloaded rounds through my 20" 308 AR. FC brass, 175 smk bullet, 41.5 IMR4064, the 5 rounds average 2570 fps which is in the ballpark of normal for a 20" I believe.

However, I had 2 of the WLR primers piece at the edge..... see the 2 primers at the top of the pic in my hand. I don't believe I'm seeing any other pressure signs on the case head. The bummer is these pierced primers apparently stuck my ejector down, and cut little divots into my bolt face.

What would cause a primer to pierce at the edge like this? Is this bolt still safe to use once I get the ejector functioning again?

Trolling at a whole new level

So my local group insists there is a Local Forum here for trading reloading compenents.

having the ability to read the forum rules there is only the PX. So either I'm a moron for not knowing about local forums on the hide
or my local group is truly just a bunch of assholes trolling me on a new level.

Dammit I can't move fast enough out of this hellhole.

Primary Arms Customer Service

Anybody have any experience with PA warranty returns? I've heard they have good CS, but I sent in a scope that wouldn't focus (one of their Japanese glass scopes), and I'm not thrilled with their communication. Are they just swamped right now? I never got a confirmation notice after they received my scope, but they did say they had received it when I asked a month later. Then a few days later they said it had been "restored to factory specs" and that I would receive a notice when it shipped. It's been nearly another month and no shipping notification. In this world of competitive warranty service from most scope manufacturers, this seems a little odd to me. Just curious if this is unusual or if I should just be patient.

Help!! Live round stuck in my Rem700.

I have a live round stuck in my rem700. I've tried pushing it through backwards but I have broken a range rod and my favorite boretech cleaning rod. Brownells has the perfect tool for what I need but it's unobtainable right now. No back order etc... Like everything else everyone is waiting for. Does anyone have one I can buy? Caliber is 300WM. Located in Northeast Florida, I'll pay shipping etc...

New Gun Control Bill Coming...


Shall not be infringed...

Edit: Well Canada is getting things rolling again (thanks Cheeko) with gun registration; the UN can try to enforce this, and watch The Who get involved now.
https://www.canada.ca/en/public-saf...-better-regulate-non-restricted-firearms.html
Highlight:
Effective May 18, 2022, individuals and businesses transferring or selling a non-restricted firearm will need to confirm the recipient’s identity and check the validity of their firearms licence with the Registrar of Firearms prior to completing the transfer, including by providing the recipient’s licence number and any other information requested. The new rule will help prevent people who are not allowed to have a firearm from getting one.
Firearms businesses will also be required to retain sales and inventory records related to non-restricted firearms, as was the case until 2005. This will make it easier for law enforcement to trace crime guns. The records will be held by businesses — not government — and the police will need reasonable grounds to get access to them, often with judicial authorization.
