Domain registration is active until 15/05/2024.

It could be a host of other things - pun intended.

I have not logged on there in years since it became flooded with covid and political discussions more than anything else, and then there are the few mods with massive chips on their shoulders as well.

Or it could be that the site admin simply forgot to renew either the hosting package, or the domain registration.

This is going to make the importation of high quality east european-ish maidens much harder.

After a spate of spam accounts activating on the site, I restricted new member signup to Admin approval.

After that, I was getting a few spam account signup requests a day, most with gateway servers in that unmentionable country East of Europe claiming to be European.

It's been a few days now, and not a single spam account signup attempt.

New membership requests will remain subject to admin approval.

The primers were indented at times, and sometimes pushed flat, and blew out three or four times.

The webs of the blown cases were far out of specs.

The chronograph speeds showed now signs of pressure. I got 2330fps from 36.5gr S335.

If the primer is not supported about instantly when firing, it will jump out, usually piercing the primer, are the ejected primers pierced or deeper indented?

Initially you spoke of  huge head space ? Go read the GS Custom test method for head space on bolt closing using the tape method.

Janfred, we pulled two of the guilty cartridges and the loads were on spec.

We also fired two others after weighing them, and their speeds were on spec as well.

It looks like high pressure, but there is nothing to cause it. If we missed something that could have caused the overpressure I would be delighted to know about it!
