Absolutely no other signs on the cases, and they go in and come out fine.

powders 6months old, no speeds recorded as was hunting in the bush.
Velocity will be down slightly as case will be expanding into chamber
I'm seeing the primers flatten out quite consistently on a 7mm RM load 162ELDX - 70gn of AR2217 fed215

At the time I was...
To Clarify i fired about 20 rounds and only the heaviest loads showed this deformation, the drawing is just the Sammi case drawing and i was just using it to show where i was measuring the cases...

$999USD is $1399NZD at present shipping's not a concern
No not me.
Though was really expecting the cheaper, more convenient Eliminator to be the better option.
Looking to upgrade the scope on my Tikka 7mm RM (in process of working up a load with ELD-X 162g)
