  • This is really been an informative video, but I have a question for you (My eyesight isn't what it used to be), my question regards the cratering on the 300 win mag primer, I couldn't really see what you were referring to but it looked like there was a raised ridge around where the firing pin hit the primer, is this what you were referring to as cratering or did I miss something. Thanks, I look forward to your answer

  • @MrPatF1 - No, that's it. I have had a expert who is an employee of a famous leading propellant co. educate me on this. Once I knew what to look for, I went back & looked at what I had. The load was slowly stepped up to max published charge, weapon in good working, only one owner & shooter. Nothing sticking/any signs -or so I thought. He explained "cratering"-the pressure inside the case, if high enough, pushes the primer cap around the head of the firing pin & between bolt-face making a ridge.
