    Your camera looks fine, it is just focused on the background rather than the bolt face.

    @Neckshot - are they the primers I sold you mate? That is the reason I got rid of them and switched to Fed 210's.

    My bolt face took a hiding and as I was only learning to reload, I knew no better. Luckily Abe has cleaned it up my bolt face a lot compared to what it was.

    If the bolt still functions then don't bother replacing it, there is an old fella at our local NRA range that has a perfect ring on his bolt face from it happening so much and his rifle is a fricken laser beam.

    Yea they are mate,It was when it was hard to get easy access to fed LR primers but all good.Better to happen in the comp environment than during a hunt.

    Maybe this should be a sticky at the top.
    After so many threads you guys shouldn't be using them.

    Large or small rifle primers ? I've found some aren't seating properly in some brass for small rifle, but CCI's work just fine.

    I'm using Murom small rifle primers, no problems.
    I heard it was their pistol primers that had the issue, hence Reloaders in Auckland won't sell the pistol primers, only small and large rifle.

    Murom - initially LR in a 25/06, then SR in my own .223. Strong loads in both cases but no problems with Federal or Fiocchi. Not tried Winchester lately, gave them away when it appeared that the brass-coloured generation was relatively under-sized, around .0008" according to me. Not much, but enough to cause loose fit in pockets prematurely.

    All Winchester primers? I have Lot No. TEL287G. Any one can check if any failure out of this batch? So far I have no problem. Thanks for helping.
