These were handloaded by myself to push 170gr to 2500-2600 or so. Not screamers for sure but not terribly underpowered. Pressure *should* be in the vicinity of 43,000CUP (extrapolated from Hodgdon's site).

My assumption on the proud primers is that the case walls held the body in place but that there wasn't enough pressure to thin the area above the web whilst pushing the head back. I can detect no case thinning via the 'paper clip' method. The extractor held the rim while the shoulder migrated forward....you gotta love Mauser extractors. And, no, I'm not loading this case again.

There are other issues with this rifle so this is the only shot fired, for what it's worth.
