    There would be some differences no doubt. I find the QL outputs very close with most Iv tried but way out on a few. I dont think it would change the basics though.

    Bolt was stiff, but opened by hand, best extractor marks I have ever seen. Elected to stop right there, was trying to get to 3k with usefull accuracy to win a bet. Replacing the extractor then building a 270-08 or 270 Redding on the action to make a short light hard hitting bush rifle that will be usefull in open country as well, will be looking to get close to standard pressure 270 velocity. Not so fast I'll net to open the bolt with a hammer though, to heavy to lug around all the time!

    Of course. When I am at a starting load and showing no other signs of pressure but have cratered primers, I could almost say one hundred percent that it is not an over pressure load though.

    Like you say, some rifles just crater primers no matter the load.

    From a .270 R700, factory Federal on the left, reasonable pressure handload with WLR primer on the right.

    Fairly common for some Remington's when their firing pin hole (in the centre of the bolt face) is a little on the large side.

    How about some examples from your all encompassing myth?

    I prefer to make acerbic one-liners and disappear.

    Okay here's an example.


    .17HMR sucks in the wind, .22 mag is better because of the heavier bullets. Discuss.
