[QUOTE="BML, post: 635942, member: 21078"] Thought I would throw out an update. As it turns out, the tiny marks I was seeing on my primers after a misfire were actually made from the hand priming tool I was using and not the firing pin. Never actually noticed them until I primed a few pieces of brass (no bullets or powder) and tested them. I could never get one of those to misfire. Only thing I noticed on those was that the dent on the primer was a lot more shallow than that from a fired loaded round. My assumption there was simply that since there was no powder, there was no backward force pressing the brass up against the firing pin, making the dent deeper. I'm currently trying to find a new gunsmith. The guy that did my bedding has given up and simply tells me to send it back to Savage. Not exactly what I wanted to hear but it is what it is. I'm now thinking it's the Accutrigger. I would simply replace it, but my only option is the Rifle Basix Sav-1 and with all the negative comments on the RB triggers I just don't want to replace the trigger with one that I still may not be able to rely on.
