Be safe and have fun OBC!
Well i'm just extremely pissed off now. Still completely unsure what is wrong with my rifle/reloads but now I just found out that my rifle is affected by the X-Mark Pro trigger recall so I get to send my rifle back for 2-3mo while I bang my head wondering what's going on with the reloads and pressure problems.
I get your frustration! But you will upgrade eventually. Use this as an excuse to do it now. "Honey, my gun isn't safe until I buy this upgrade!"

That Jewell is what I have had my eyes on, but like I said, can't afford it right now. Perhaps I'll just hold off on sending the rifle in until I can at least diagnose the ammo problem and decide if I want to just force myself to upgrade the trigger now. Then again, if it takes 2-3mo to get the rifle back, I would have the money for the trigger in half that time, so...
I'm just...right now.

Hey BC, sorry about your ammo and trigger and fire woes. Hope things get better for you soon!

I went on an excursion today. The HB family hiked the "Horsethief Falls" trail between Divide and Cripple Creek. Lots of snow on the trail made it a pretty hard hike and HB Jr ran out of patience after about 3 hours, so we had to book it back down to the trailhead to make him happy again. Took a few pictures, but nothing super exciting.

Thanks HB, it's bound to happen sooner or later to all of us. If nothing else, I'm learning a ton of new ways to look for over pressure in my reloads, but this is just baffling me.
I mean, we've determined that 42.8gr was over pressure, hence the blown out primer, stuck bolt, etc. But, what is the cause for the loose primer on the 38.0gr load for the 2nd round of loads. There's no way that was over pressure, especially since the bolt didn't stick.
I'm seriously about ready to buy some brand new Lapua brass, sell this LC LR brass that I have, and rule out loose primer pockets as a possible cause. If my LGS has any primers/powder, I may try a different combo but 4064 is not a rare powder to use for 308, so I can't imagine that is the problem either.
Yo, Fellers.
Sorry to hear about your dilemma BC. Confusing situation to have to figure out, for sure.
No problems with equipment at the range for the kid and I today, just some problems behind the trigger for me. I completely sucked with both the glocks, and open sight with the AR was marginal. The highlight for me today was getting the Mini 14 sighted in at 100.
Had great weather though.
