[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 1321225, member: 17844"] To me it sounds like a case of maybe a bit of excess head clearance due maybe to over sizing and the case is rammed back onto the firing pin and pierces the primer . Also primer may be a bit soft for the job . Firing pin end shape could be bad and act like a blanking punch and pierce the soft primer . Also bolt gas escape design sounds wrong and is directing gas to the rear of the bolt instead of sideways or down . I have pierced a few primers in a Mauser action due to a bad firing pin but it was no drama due to proper gas venting design . If that happened twice I would be sending it back and want a refund .
