I dare say Mr Kevin Gullette seems to show an image of a truly pierced primer or at least not the typical blanked primer.
I'll not go into what may have occurred to produce such an effect but will state with fair certainty that it had nothing to do with "excess protrusion"
That said, thank you Kevin, you've broadened my horizon this day........this has absolutely no bearing on what's 99.99% of the time referred to as a "pierced primer" (every other instance in this or any other thread on BRC refers to blanking) but that thar shore appears to be a punctured primer, and without any sort of description I'm guessing Kevin that this rifle has somehow been modified (hacked) to produce this effect? Or was it a one-off? A weak spot in the primer cup...a fluke?
I don't see a previous post.
