[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 799357, member: 1521"] You can reduce it and improve accuracy doing so. Contrary to popular belief, a firing pin should not be set to excess energy. Excess being more than needed for consistant ignition. If you load develop with firing pin adjustment you will find a sweet spot where performance is best, and it won't be at any extreme setting. I do this, after also backing off sear/cocking piece so that it does not bottom in the shroud on release. Also, if you whitness the bolt turning on dry firing(usually lifting) -that's evil energy right there. So I also set a bolt turn stop so that the cocking piece will fall freely without resistance, and the bolt ceases to so much as wiggle. [/QUOTE]
