I am new to reloading within the last year, so if my question is dumb please forgive me.
I was under the impression that when the primer in your cartridge flattens out after shooting that it is a sign of too high pressures. My factory federal premium tsx' s, in .338wm, flatten the primer in my rifle. I have worked my loads up to 69.5gns H4350 with the same tsx's as my federal premium (225gn fbtsx) but don't know if I should go any higher due to flattening of the primer.
Am I way off base? Is flattening the primer ok?
Thanks
