[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 513735, member: 24624"] I have a Steyr SL in 223 that's fired a lot of rounds without issue. I usually just shoot the cheap stuff and don't even handload for it. Last time out, I tried a box of Superformance and it pierced holes in several primers. I think it was only ~80F that day. I just haven't had a chance to debug that. I suppose I'll disassmble/clean the bolt. Then, mic and inspect the firing pin before I go shoot again. Length and shape both make a difference. ...although, I can't see how shape would change over time and if the bolt was dirty or gummed, I would expect it to protrude less on firing. Unless I find something unusual, I'll probably just go back to the stuff that works. Perhaps it was a bad lot of primers from Hornady? -- richard [/QUOTE]
