My primers - how do they look?

Every one looks good besides the bottom left one

 

[mdmp5]

Fine. They look used

 

[Supersubes]

Let me guess, the rifle is an AW? Mine have that same wide radius to the face of the pin and a sharp edge which will occasionally cause what you see in the lower left.

Primers are a crappy judge of pressure when headspace is on the minimum side.

 

[Codiekfx400]

Look good to me. If you blow one out of the case then you will know it’s over pressure.

 

[mdmp5]

I see no ejector marks, which are a pretty sensitive indicator of pressure

 

[MagnumManiac]

I see a few are slightly cratered, this is normally a bolt face issue, but when primers are flat, this may be on the verge of high pressure.

When I look to primers for an indication of high pressure I look to see if the primer has expanded to fill the edge of the primer pocket. Yours look fine. The few with craters are probably more from the bolt face. I also don't see any ejector marks on the case head. How does your load compare to the book maximums?
