My sons BAR in .338 wm seems to showing signs of over pressure. It’s Hornady factory ammo. He got the gun used recently and it has never really fed or cycled very reliably. It’s hard to see in the pics but the primers are totally flattened and almost smeared out of the pocket. The stamping is crushed flat.
