[QUOTE="Shaidon, post: 303218, member: 8579"] I use a hand primer the majority of the time but after the first few cases that didn't work, I began to use the press after the hand primer to make sure they are seated. I have kinda ruled out the primers just for the fact that the primers in the rounds that fired are still real light, not nearly as much impression as my other rifles. There is .003" of case stretch between the virgin brass and the fired brass so that rules out a headspace issue, plus the smith re-checked the headspaced with a go gauge. I am more concerned that there is an issue with the clearance between the trigger and the firing pin, maybe its keeping pressure on it and losing some momentum. OR the bolt being out of timing. Are either of those two possible or likely? [/QUOTE]
