Punctured Primer

JD I have the same problem. I switched from Lapua ammo to Magtech and then the problems started. I have some S&B ammo and Geco in my safe. So I`ll try the pistol with that this week.

I`ll check every case that comes out of it.

Maby magtech uses verry thin primers.

This thread reminds me of an old James Bond book I read back in the 60's. Ian Fleming was touted as being firearms-proficient, but he had James as modifying his .25 Beretta by filing the firing pin to a point...

It may be a wild shot (sorry about the pun), but check your firing pin against a good one and make sure the end is rounded and not a pin-point...Some ignorant Bond fan may have 'improved' it...
