Yes, a total failure.

Yes, a total failure.
I think the Canadian .303 Mk 7 case Berdan primer pocket diameter must be smaller than the European Large Berdan pockets, the bushings were just too large. If you look back on my earlier posts, it took over 100 lbs to press them into the case, then I had to ream them to accept the LR Boxer primer.
Hopefully, I’ll get this figured out. For starts, it will take a different sized bushing. I’ll pull down the other 40 rounds, will likely have to scrap the cases.
Fortunately, I have several spare #1 bolt heads the same length as this one.
