Looks to me that your are shooting 223 ammunition and I am assuming that it is fired in a gas gun.

As Bart has said there are a lot of variables with primers. I have developed loads that gave no indication of high pressures till primers started leaking or were blown. Primers are an unreliable indication of pressure, but they are better than nothing.
