    I don't worry too much about flat primers. Too many variables. I look for ejector stamping, extraction stiffness and watch velocities. If my velocities are extraordinary compared to the manufacturers manuals I start thinking that something strange is going (although +100 fps over doesn't worry me if everything else is in order)

    I have never measured case expansion because maths baffles me.
