[QUOTE="Tenntrapper, post: 4805651, member: 18110"] I've got another post about the 6.5 Swede starting loads, but since posting that, I've found some info. Anyway, I remember now why I stopped messing with it 2 years ago. For no apparent reason, it started flattening primers using the same load. Based on my own info, I started about 6 grains below where I had been a couple years ago. Fired one round, and flattened primer. I don't understand what's causing it, except right before I hit that spot a couple years ago, I had put in a wolf extra power firing pin spring. Looking through the fired, unprimed brass, as well as the round fired today, the firing pin is definitely hitting harder (deeper impact). Could this also be causing the flattened primers? There are no other signs of over pressure. Any advice would be appreciated. FWIW, the heavier spring was installed to help decrease lock time. [/QUOTE]
