[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1780167, member: 96226"] I've never seen this problem before and I think it might be to do with my firing pin and not my load. I just switched to small primer 6XC brass so I could positively identify any of my old brass that had gotten damaged and which was large primer and keep it out of my match ammo. I can take the same powder charge and put it in a LRP case and there are no pressure signs at all. Do the same thing on SRP brass and 3 out of 5 end up with a perforated primer. ***? Do I need to change out my striker or what? The primer strikes do look really deep so I guess it could just be striker protrusion is too much. Does anyone know what kind of protrusion difference there should be (assuming there is a difference) between SRP and LRP? I have something like the same thing going on on a different match rifle where some of my loads are on SRP brass and some are on LRP brass and I shoot them out of the same gun with no issues at all so I'm a bit at a loss.
