I was loading up my first set of 308 winchester, using S&B large rifle. I only loaded up 20 or so but I had primer failure on two of them. They were evenly seated, and very well dimpled (I tried in both my bolt and my AR10) but neither went boom.
(The good news is that my first 308 handloads that did go boom had great groupings)
I've had very good luck with S&B small rifle (in that I've never had a primer failure) after many hundreds loaded. Is this a bad batch, or are large primers more finicky- do you have to seat them deeper or something?
Pictures coming
