Pressure sign question

YancyW, can you remove the powder from the primer pocket with a cotton swab and or equivalent and then measure the diameter of the primer pocket and compare it to the diameter of a primer? It is possible that the pocket is just oversized. I've always thought that hot loads flattened primers whereas under powered loads moved them backwards or out of the pocket. Definitely contact Barnes and send photos. In the past Barnes was always very responsive to issues like this.

Do you mind me asking what auction you are referencing? I'm not in the market for any of those rifles...just curious.

Good morning from Montana.

I'm looking at a post from 2018 where you were looking for a lefty Winchester in .375 H&H Magnum. I'm selling mine. My email is [redacted] in the event that you're still searching for a unicorn.

Best,

Kelly Palmer
