[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 787056, member: 2736"] That is good news Jeff !!! Sometimes the small things can eat us up. Good to hear your smith feels the same about the problems with the light weight firing pin. I also like to use the heavy spring as long as it does not snake(To large diameter) and drag on the inside of the bolt. The light weight firing pin Is an improvement in lock time if the weapon has a slow lock time, but sometimes the advantage of the standard pin is dependability. A very good bench rest shooter told me that he had tried the lighter firing pins and even though he had no issues with them failing to fire (They normally use standard Match or bench rest primers with thin cups) he did notice SD numbers went up slightly. He thinks with less inertia in the pin, the burn rate of the primer is more inconsistent. In your test, If you chronograph the loads with and without the light pin It would be interesting data if you have it. If you do have /get the data it could help all of the long range shooters. Let us know how everything goes J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
