[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1622887, member: 69192"] I don't think that you stated what type of rifle you are shooting. I'm not judging your intelligence, I'm thinking that you have either a brass problem, a primer problem or combination thereof, or a rifle problem. You are going to have to measure all of the components that you are using carefully to determine what is going on with you FTIs. A few years back I [I]"thought"[/I] that I was having a problem with my Winchester magnum primers (hard anvils stuff like that), so I bought several other brands of primers @ 1000 piece bricks. Still had the problem then............I decided to change my striker spring from 17lbs to a 24lb spring and fixed the problem with the primers; and, I was putting what I thought was a good dent in the primers also. If you are shooting a Ruger 77, whether you have a primer/ignition problem or not I strongly recommend changing the firing pin spring; Blitzsnell makes a good product. If you are shooting an older rifle, again I strongly suggest that the firing pin spring gets replaced. The firing pin spring is a major ignition component for making the gun go bang; yet, it is oftentimes overlooked in the process. For me the piece of mind of replacing a firing pin spring @ around $10-15 each is well worth the price. My problem started with two rifles [I][U]at the same tim[/U][/I]e, mine and my son's rifle, both Ruger 77s. Had it just been with my rifle I would have gone for the firing pin spring right away; but, this was not the case. [I]I'm not thinking that you have a firing pin spring problem[/I], however when you posted this, I thought I would give you my .02 worth on dents in primers. I shoot quite a bit, however I do not think that I will ever shoot up 3000+ large rifle magnum primers. [/QUOTE]
