[QUOTE="elkoholic72, post: 386542, member: 15559"] To me it seems more like a headspace problem than the primers or firing pin. You said you just got the rifle back, have you shot any factory rounds out of it and how did yhey do? How did you set the die up and was it full length? Try placing a piece of scotch tape over the end of the case(across the primer)and chamber a round. Will the bolt still close? You could either be overworking your brass making it to short, or your headspace is a little off(Long). Way back when I started rebarreling savages, had the same identical problem happen. Good luck whatever it is. If you need a 308 headspace gage, i could let you borrow a set or your local smith would probably check it for you. [/QUOTE]
