[QUOTE="backwoods83, post: 813397, member: 29890"] Yep, I had to rebuild a Jewell because of that. I've tried tame loads 29grn varget, with same results. I had a 26# spring, went to a 16# it was to light causing the issue your having, so went back up to a 22#. When it first started I checked firing pin protrustion, it was .055", trimmed the pin so it was at .038", thought the problem was gone, I was wrong. Its been checked twice. My brass has 7 loads on them with only 1 trim and 1 anneal, its not hot, no sticky bolt, no case head expansion, primers that don't pop look like factory ammo, no ejector marks, etc... the wierdest part is, it typically only does it until the barrel warms up, the first 4 or 5 shots, then its fine. I have used primers from the same batch in 204 and 223 with no issues, I'm pretty well lost at this point, and sometimes I use this rifle in matches, tactical and varmint, if it pops a primer you know what happens, a beautiful flyer in what would have been a good group.
