The Everyday Sniper Episode 83 Gunwerks Blown Primers

I am here in Cody, WY, getting ready for the registration and sight in day at the Gunwerks PRS match. I managed to dope and check everything usng the Tikka Tac A1.

Everything went like clockwork with the 130gr Prime ammo, but switching to the hot and heavy handload it immediately blew a primer and broke the bolt. Lucky I was able to swap bolts to work

Spring handloads in a hot summer rifle is not the answer here and I need to go mild.

Thanks for listening to the Everyday Sniper and hopefully you can learn from the mistakes I make.

Cheers,
