[QUOTE="many shots, post: 430847, member: 20624"] I was having similar problems with my new rifle that I had built. During Load development the rifle functioned flawlesly. Then while out shooting I had a FTF and also a pierced primer. Took rifle in to have it gone over and everything appeared ok so thought it was an issue of overpressuring. Decreased the load but still had FTF's. When I took the rifle back in we had decided that a heavier spring might be needed. I had installed an aftermarket firing pin assembly already. When we went to change out the spring it was discovered that the existing spring was for a short action assembly. Installed new long action spring and problems have since gone away. [/QUOTE]
