I loaded up some .308 with 44.2 gr of IMR4064 and a 168gr Sierra HPBTM and noticed that the primers are lightly flattened. Not totallay flattened where it fills the pocket entirely, but the edges of the primer aren't as round as they were originally.
The firing pin indent isn't cratered at all, and looks as normal as any other fired brass with lighter loads.
Would this be considered an unsafe load? Also there was no problem ejecting spent brass.
Thanks for the help.
