I have an AIAT with the factory 20" barrel and I am getting flattened primers and I had one blow out and put a small crater in my bolt face. When I developed this load I saw no pressure signs and my velocity was low but accuracy was excellent. I'm wondering what could be the cause of these high pressure signs at such a low load.
178 A-Max
Lapua Brass
41.7 grains of IMR4064
WLR Primers
COAL of 2.8"
Sized in a full length RCBS die bumping the shoulders back 2-4 thou every firing.
I shoot this suppressed and out of my 20" barrel I only get 2500 FPS
