    Nucleus Light Primer Strikes

    What’s your bolt lift like since it’s almost double the spring weight out of curiosity? I’d imagine it would torque the rifle a bit (although I don’t know whether a heavy or light spring impacts that).

    Cause of random cratered primers???

    No changes on my end, tried new Lapua sp, once fired Lapua sp, once fired Starline sp, factory Hornady (only ones that didn’t crater and have lp), once fired Lapua with cci 41 (everything else was cci 450). Everything still has the cratering regardless of load. Went from 40-43.4 gn of H4350...

    Nucleus Light Primer Strikes

    Range update. Stripped the bolt and ran it through ultra sonic. Shot new lapua brass with new box of 450’s and some starline with 41’s. Same deal. No light strikes and everything went off. I’m gonna chalk up the cratering as a nuance in mine and hopefully doesn’t start doing the light...

    Nucleus Light Primer Strikes

    Looks like my brass, my rifle so far is shooting lights out. This is a 12 shot group ranging from 2600-2760. All of the craters seem the same at eye measurements. I’m doing some more tests tomorrow, but hoping it’s just a slightly larger fp hole causing the flowing of the primer, and nothing...

    Nucleus Light Primer Strikes

    Apparently this is possibly a new issue then. I got the above reply from arc. This past weekend were the first shots through mine. I’m going back out this weekend and will change out some components cci41 , starline brass, new lapua etc and see how it goes. I don’t care about the cratering...

    Cause of random cratered primers???

    Moving this to the appropriate thread... I'm getting cratering with Lapua srp; cci 450; h4350 (all charge weights); TT Diamond. I'm going to try new brass and a new box of primers to compare. I've read some things about the fp hole being slightly larger on remy 700 bolts which can cause this...

    Nucleus Light Primer Strikes

    I'm having an opposite effect and getting cratering with Lapua srp; cci 450; h4350 (all charge weights); TT Diamond. I'm going to try new brass and a new box of primers to compare. I've read some things about the fp hole being slightly larger on remy 700 bolts which can cause this, so maybe...

    Cause of random cratered primers???

    I'm getting this out of an arc nucleus as well with cci 450. Low velocity is cratering at 2600 fps 40gn H4350. No other signs of pressure however. Factory 140 eld m has no cratering. Headspace is good to go as well. I do use imperial wax, maybe I'll wipe down the remaining cases with...

    Nucleus Light Primer Strikes

    Not sure if this might be the cause for the light primer strikes, but I just went through mine and after about an hour and being perplexed why I couldn’t get it to turn just a bit further realized I was putting the spring loaded “detent” for lack of a better word in backwards (didn’t notice it...

    Some PX Thoughts the direction I am heading

    Fair enough, and I apologize as I was in a scotch and stogie induced influence when I saw the change. Was thinking it was a derogatory label to caution others. I love this forum and appreciate the efforts that go into maintaining it , in addition to the candid comments by others lol. I won’t...

    Some PX Thoughts the direction I am heading

    I honestly feel greatly disrespected having a tag by my name like hessian. I’m a veteran of the 5th Marine regiment. Kick me out of this forum if you deem it necessary, but definitely remove the affiliation of a merc german soldier with my profile. @Lowlight
