[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1704856, member: 69192"] Just curious if you simply got a bad batch of primers. It happened to two primers, so....stuff happens sometimes. I recently went nuts changing out striker springs on all my rifles, turned out that I have a bad batch of Winchester large rifle magnum primers with hard anvils!! From your photos I’m not seeing any indications of high pressure loads whatsoever. At first I thought that perhaps your powder measure dropped a couple of heavy loads, but again no pressure signs as you wrote. You can try getting your rifle firing pin rebushed, however before I did that I’d keep shooting the components you have to see if it happens to more primers other then the two you have or buy a different brand of primers before repairing the rifle!! Could also call primer company with the lot numbers, could be a bad run??? There are made extraneous variables here, I suggest that you eliminate one of them at a time, primers then work on rifle. Remember this had happened with two primers out of how many?? For me I don’t think you’ve fired enough ammunition using your present primers to find out if this is a fluke thing, or if you’ve got a primer issue at all. Like all other manufacturing products they’re all subject to human error! I’d eliminate bad primers before doing anything else [/QUOTE]
