Pierced Primer question working up a load

[deadlyswift]

Well compared to the primers I shot last Thursday, today seems like the primers were smoother when running your finger tips over them. I'm curious to see when I try loading up some 30.5gr of Varget for next week.

Scotty,
Just wondering how things turned out with your bolt? Have only sent a REM. Bolt to Greg. The work was great. fixed my Problem on my 270wsm. Was wondering how things came out on your Savage Bolt? (firing Pin)

Deadlyswift,

So far so good. Primers seem smoother where the pin makes contact with the primer. I just finished loading 100 rounds for tomorrows testing. I also have loads that are pretty high near max pressure according to QuickLoad. These loads initially made a crater in the primer prior to getting my bolt done by Greg. I will post my range report tomorrow hen I get back from the range.
