[QUOTE="HSmithTX, post: 2634160, member: 121677"] I see that much cratering with several factory actions, nothing a firing pin bushing won't solve completely if it bothers you. Personally I don't really give it much thought, but I won't push loads hard on one because that primer will pierce well sooner than one without cratering. I don't see any flattening, primer shape looks good to me. Curious why the bolt face is so rough? The primer surface and the brass looks like it has total coverage of impressions from the bolt face roughness. Why is it scattering bullets? No idea honestly. I would start with a brand new workup, if it were mine, ignoring the primer cratering. [/QUOTE]
