The other main causes of slamfires are headspacing, and cartridge condition, but that's another sub-forum.
Please correct me if I mispeak on this......But I believe I have established an understanding of one cause/risk of slamfire, and that being that the primer seating and its depth within the case. You do not want the primer to protrude, etc when seating the primer into the casing. You actually want it to be "sunk-in" about .002.
As mentioned above, there are other conditions that could cause this:
1. Cartridge Condition - This one makes sense. A deteriorated cartridge could collapse under stress or not hold properly etc, etc, and this should be noticeable and caught with some common sense and knowing the useful life of a case...right?
2.) Headspacing.....help me out with this one. Regarding the seating depth of the bullet into the casing?
Thanks!!!
