[QUOTE="Rflshootr, post: 2382002, member: 10284"] I think you can rule out your concern about firing pin protrusion. I don't know the specs on the action you have but, the rule is .040 minimum, up to .010 less than the firing pin diameter maximum. So, as an example, if you have a .062 firing pin, the protrusion should be between .040 and .052. It sounds like yours is right where it is supposed to be. My opinion is like some others have already said, that the primer was not seated deep enough for the anvil to be pushed into the priming compound. The only other thing would be if you ran the cases too far in the die and pushed the shoulders back excessively. [/QUOTE]
