M96 rupturing primers

Sounds like a high pressure problem. Is the ammo new or surplus? What was the source? Factory ammo can change when stored badly too...giving hi pressures and pierced, setback primers.

The only way to find if it is a head space problem is to get a NO GO gauge and give it a try. If the bolt closes or almost closes on it you have a head space problem. I would get another brand of ammo and give it a try first.

Agreed, and get a store bought box not Tradex. Get something good.
