[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 1325319, member: 95733"] I'd contact Federal and see what they say as loose primer pockets after 1 firing is not normal. In the past I have reload max or near max reloads for 300wm, 338wm, 7mmstw and never did I experience any pressure signs beyond the rare stiff bolt lift and certainly never had a primer pocket get loose. When I first bought my T3 in 300wsm the only brass I could find was Norma at a cost of between $1.60 to $2 each, I then stumbled across a ammo web sight that had 300 wsm Federal Power Shock ammo on sale for $24 for a box of 20 and Winchester Super-X for $26 for 20 with free S&H for orders over $99. I bought 5 boxes of each just for the brass. If you would have told me the day would come I could buy factory loaded ammunition cheaper than brass I would have thought you were suffering from long term chewing on lead paint chips, but to my complete astonishment it has become a reality. Thankfully I was recently able to buy enough Winchester brass to last me at least 3 or 4 barrels, which for my non competitive purposes will serve me well. [/QUOTE]
