Had my first pierced primer after loading roughly 1000 rounds. I am not able to post pictures right now, but the primer had a pinhole right at the edge, which leaked enough to etch a small divot in my rifles bolt face. So I was wondering if I should check for something specifically to keep this from happening in the future. Here's the specs:
270 Win
Winchester LR Primer
LOT# DNL837G
Federal Brass
6th reload resized after each firing, I scrap the brass if a primer seats too easily
58.6gr. of H4831SC
Avg. velocity is 2880fps, this is a moderate load so I don't think pressure is an issue with the primer failing.
Hornady 130gr interlock bullet
When I fired the shot I didn't notice any excess recoil or gas escaping. I didn't even notice the issue until I put the the brass back into my box. Just trying to figure out what went wrong before it happens again and etches the bolt face even more. Thanks in advance for any help.
