[QUOTE="tulsanewb, post: 2394100, member: 2133"] I reloaded some .308 with 42.0 grains of Ramshot Tac (under the max by quite a bit) and 168gr SMKs. Trim length was 2.005" and OAL was approximately 2.800 (spread from 2.792 to 2.803, typically 2.800 +/- .002"). The loads don't feel hot, but they do require a little more force to turn the bolt than I am used to. They fire beautifully however. This is for a 5R Remington 700 20". I had loaded some rounds last week with the same dimensions ranging from 41 to 42.25 grains of TAC, but forgot to check the primers after. I did notice that at least some of the primers looked similar (I deprimed the rest before looking, bone-head move, I know). Is this cratering a sign of over-pressure? I'm still pretty new to reloading, but don't see much else that points to pressure. There are a few scratches on the cases from chambering, but not much else as you can see from the pictures.
