So I made some 40 grain 22 Hornet loads with a small pistol primer and about 12.1 grains of Lil'Gun using my Lee AutoDisk. I zip out to the range and test them out. I get about 2,550 fps out of my Encore SBR with them. Everything fires just fine, but the primers on all of the cases are backed out slightly. From my understanding, this is a sign of low pressure, as the case doesn't stretch to come into contact with the breech face and re seat the primer.
The question is, should I care?
These cases are going to be neck sized and segregated to the specific gun. With that in mind, the primers backing out is irrelevant and the lower pressure/no stretching would provide increased case life.
Doing a search online, the worst I see that I should expect is accuracy problems. If those don't occur, then I should be just fine. Is there any problem with my logic here?
