I saw some H1000 powder in the store the other day so i bought a pound to give it a spin in my 300 win mag.
Consulted a few manuals including their website, loaded an OCW set and went to the range. I stopped after firing my first 3 rounds, which were under the max charge for that powder and bullet. I stopped, because the primers looked flatter than anything I've seen. The primers also have a crater/rim to them. Never seen this before. There's also a polished spot on the case head. i presume from the bolt.
Can anyone confirm what i'm seeing.. give me a piece of mind that these ARE being flattened and should be pulled??
