Hi All,
I have a 700 LTR that was made in 2008. I just started reloading for it and noticed that my primers are cratering no matter what load I put through it. There are no (other) signs of excessive pressure, and this is happening even with minimal powder loads...
I read on another site that modern Remington 700s are designed to cause primers to crater a little, but just wanted to check with the SH crowd since you guys are the pros.
Is this something to worry about, or is it - as they say elsewhere on the net - simply a design feature of modern Remington 700 rifles?
Thanks,
Russ
PS: Would get the cratering on all factory loads that were run through it as well. No other signs of excessive pressure, just the craters on every primer.
