What catfish said.... about primer pockets.. I sold a well used Ruger 77 in 25-06. Guy loaded em a bit hot. then swaged the primer pockets or something. Blew 3 primers..Another thing that may be happening. Some chambers are cut a mite short...Could be running very high pressures because the bullet is into the lands. A friend blew a primer and locked the gun lightly by having the bullets seated too far out in a 22-250. We seated the bullets a bit deeper and voila..it was all ok. We did check the loads first. He is a very careful guy reloading and just forgot the OAL is sometimes critical
