[QUOTE="milo-2, post: 1940685, member: 33622"] I actually did this on a Stiller Predator action, 6.5x47 Lapua case, so small primer. I wasn't rupturing or cratering primers, it was piercing them. It was mild load, and long before the pin hole hole bushing craze hit. It worked fine. In my experience, firing pin tips are soft, the more they are subjected to cratered or pierced primers, the more damage done to it and things only get worse. Most all of this as been eliminated by action companies going to small holes, tighter fitting pins. Though I do have one Impact 737 that craters my Dasher brass, i have no idea why, 7 firings on the brass and pockets still tight. My smith has new firing pin for me, but I am going to wait till I rechamber to swap it out. [/QUOTE]
