hey guys im new here, G'day from down under.

Im a very new 204 owner (T/C venture 22 inch sporter 1-10" twist)

I have found that this rifle is very accurate with Fiocchi 40 grain ammo, but there is a little problem, sometimes the brass has slightly raised primers. My only concern is the ammo is too hot and or dangerous.

Anyone else had a similar experience or chronied the ammo?

Thanks!
 
I believe you will find the brass is oversized (too short) for the chamber. I had similar issues in my Savage FV12, and that was my primary issue. Once I reloaded the brass a couple times, no issues with the GFL brass. I tried pulling some ammo to get the brass and move on but I could not get the bullets to budge with a kinetic puller (hammer) after numerous strikes so I gave up on that idea. On the few I was able to pull, the powder charges were a bit inconsistent.
