    If you're just firing live primed cases, that will happen. There's no chamber pressure to flatten them out. Try a factory new case and prime them to test. You must have a couple factory new cartridges around?

    Agreed. If primers back-out on fired live rounds, that might be another indication of long head space.

    The rounds that I fired were live, loaded with 12.2 grains of VITHAVUORI N110 powder.
    Nothing wrong with this load, very good cycling.
