[QUOTE="Remnut3477, post: 2719333, member: 94820"] Ok guys, stopped by my gunsmith tonight. Showed him the 50 brass and he looked the rifle over. He measured the firing pin protrusion, it should be around .055" plus or minus a couple. Mine was .059", so he stoned it shorter and made sure it was nice and round, not sharp or to flat either. He checked the firing pin fitment to the bolt face, he said it was very good. He was fairly certain that the firing pin being to long was the primer issue. Now, the pressure. He thought the ejector mark was faint also, and he thinks it is coming from the .269 neck. My loaded rounds are measuring .267-.268, way to tight. I cannot slip a bullet back inside a fired case. He is going to open the neck up to .272 so I won't have to turn necks. He said he knows PRS and High Power shooters run there Dashers around that 2950ish with a 105gr bullet, but brass life can suffer. [/QUOTE]
