[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1608502, member: 2736"] First, check and see how deep they actually are. The specs says that they should be flush (.000) or as deep as (-.008). Most firing pins should have between .055 and .065 travel (protrusion). At .055 of firing pin travel, the primer will still see a .047 pin strike. (More than enough to set the primer off). If the primer is more than .008 to .010 below the case head, you may need to replace the case or the primers (The primers themselves should be between 0.115 and 0.126 tall). As stated, the primers should be flush and slightly flattened when seated against the bottom of the primer pocket so there is no movement of the primer during firing. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
