I’m having issues with either my bolt rifle or some ammo. It is factory Hornady .223 ammo and the primers are roughly .010- .015 below the rear face. Too deep???
I’m getting frequent FTFs from what looks to be light primer strikes. The hits still look plenty deep but no fire. Repeated hits still won’t set off the shell in my rifle. Dropping the shell in my AR will fire it though.
The pin protrudes quite a bit more than the strike I’m getting on the primer. I’ve pulled the bolt apart but everything looks perfect.
Thoughts???
