Extruded primers

Alright I finally have to ask . What is this cream of wheat process I hear so much about . I understand it's about fire forming a case with out a bullet but that's about it . Are you all saying I need to mix up a bowl of cream of wheat and poor it into my charged case :eek: ??? How do you load the case :confused:?

Oh BTW not sure why but I'm very excited my post count is almost 4064 lol , I'm sure it will be a special day when it hits 4895 as well :rolleyes::D
 
Yes, and you use a kernel of corn for the primer :D. Seriously, primer protrusion is common with the old low pressure cartridges. I have seven .30-30 rifles of all action types. Every one gives some degree of primer protrusion. Headspace for a rimmed cartridge has to be a bit larger than the width of the rim or the cartridge would not chamber. Uncle Nick gave a good explanation of why this gives protrusion. Have your headspace checked and if it is OK then just neck size, reload, and fire away. This is the best way to get accuracy out of a rimmed cartridge.
