These three brass were all loaded with the same load .243win 43 grains of H4350 they all look different to me for some reason

You are not supposed to use a center punch for a firing pin.

I was talking to Dennis about this but I forgot he was spending quality time with his wife. It is a hot load and it shot real good but I thought they were looking flat so I will back it down some thanks

back it down 3 tenths of a grain at a whack until you are happy with the load

Are those actually pierced or just the way they look in the pic? I'm okay with flattened primers in summer temps. In winter temps, there could be issues during the summer with certain powders.
