Glad to see they worked out.

You got me curious, so I loaded up a few more CCI 400s and 40 gr Vmax. Nothing like I got the first time. Although there was a small rim around the firing pin dimple, it sure wasn't what I'd call an over-pressure sign. That first series of rounds must have had particularly soft primer cups. It happens. :shrug:

It even happens to the commercial mfgrs. Had some Hornady rounds punch through. They sent me a new box.
