I've noticed that in most of the .357 loads I've been firing, both factory loads and my own handloads, with S&W and Ruger revolvers in excellent condition show signs of primer flattening... since I'm seeing this with factory loads such as Winchester 145 gr. Silvertip in quality revolvers in fine condition, it leads me to believe that this occurrence of primer flattening might be considered somewhat "normal"... is this correct or is something really wrong with my guns and factory ammo?
The thought occurs to me that I am using Federal primers and the Winchester factory ammo uses Winchester primers, which are typically considered less hard than CCI primers... could this be the reason for the flattening?
