[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1667444, member: 9308"] I'm confused. Your gun was blowing the primers out of the factory loads which is why you posted to begin with. Now your gunsmith says everything is fine and you've adjusted the gas block to 'just' eject an empty case upon firing and...everything is fine? (Except accuracy.) I feel like I've missed something. Your factory loads were making contact, upon chambering, with the rifling...or something, because you put black marker on the bullet and could see a distinct line of contact occurring. This seemed to be pointing to a short leade. Seating deeper with your reloads is fine (assuming you back off powder charge as needed to compensate), but doesn't address the fact that the Hornady "Black" factory ammo was blowing primers out in your gun. Don't get me wrong - if YOU are happy - then...great! But I don't see how the underlying issue has been addressed/sorted out yet. If it were me and my gun, now that your gunsmith has deemed the gun is "SAFE"(?), I would still want to address the problem is some way. I think DEL2LES was on the right track with what to try next: Perhaps give these a try.
