thanks guys. I did go back and read that "lowpressure/pushed primer" bit in my hornady manual. To be honest I forgot all about that and I have read all of my manuals several times. Also, the charge I used, being a "fast" powder should be ok. Lesson learned. I will crank it up a bit and hope I get good accuracy without getting too high velosityas I am trying to create a 35 whelen/350 rem mag/375 win type round. thanks again for your help. Matt
