New 6 Creed problems with PETERSON brass

Haven't seen srp locally for years...not an option
And everywhere online is out of stock...And I have a ton of LRP and are found locally. SRP stash I have is for the triple deuce.

The point frank green was making to @RUN8 was not literally run a 6.5 into a die and make a 6mm, but a case of that size (40 ish grains of powder) through a 6mm bore, and 60k psi. Its magnum like, and hammers barrels, where a 30 cal with the same powder charge isnt.
Well thats nothing new or surprising to me anyway. I guess everybody forgets about the 243 🤣 My last 243 only went 1200 rounds with the 105 AMAX...6 Creed ain't no fucking different.

I agree, its simple. Your response to that post demonstrated you did not understand the point being made. Nobody forgets the 243, its worse than the creedmoor.
 
First dog seen, called in with mouth calls and killed this morning at 225 yards! Love it already. 108 ELDM dumped his ass with a nice resounding "whop" This was as he lied, nice little dirt nap 🤣

Found this thread because I ran into the same "issue". Loaded my first 50 Berger 108s up at 41gr H4350 and found that I was getting a sticky bolt but really good performance. The first 50 shots average 2897fps and a 15 SD out of an 18" barrel.

I did not get the same pressure signs at 41gr on 108 ELDMs. I have a match next week and wanted to do some research because I won't have time to test loads. Going with 40gr which should put me around 2820fps.

Peterson brass is much thicker than the hornady stuff in the reloading manuals and it surprised me too. I use quite a bit of Peterson stuff and I've never not been able to get to the Hodgdon max load.
 
The problem WLR primers were getting pin holes in the cup right where the cup bends 90 degrees. They weren't just leaking. They were rupturing. I don't see holes in the OPs primers where the WLR primers were rupturing.
