[QUOTE="Wile E Coyote, post: 786438, member: 28381"] I can second JE Custom on the light pin theory and heres my experience. I've been fighting a similar problem to yours (mis fire with a light strike) with a relatively stock Rem 700, .223. A long time ago I changed the firing pin and spring to a Tubb Speedlock with their Chrome silicon spring. Up until this Winter, everything went bang when it was supposed to. The only fault I had with the setup was this pin was way too loose in the bolt face and even moderately light loads showed some primer flow. Then while hunting coyotes in January it started to mis-fire with a very light strike. I've had a Hollands oversize pin and spring on the shelf for this gun and this afternoon, I fitted the pin (just a bit tight but free) and assembled. I fired a few rounds before it got dark and each fired with no primer flow. When dry fired now it definitely feels more solid. The Tubb pin and spring weigh about 475 grains and had a protrusion of .052" while the hollands setup was about 750 grains and protrudes .057." I'm going to find the camera and take a pic of the various fired primers and post again. Hope this helps without confusing. Pete [/QUOTE]
