I have a lot of different 16 gauge ammo that I was going to run through to see if I could get the same result. Interesting about the gun club ammo though I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately

According to what I researched on the net the firing pins should protrude from the breech face .05" to .06". I used a feeler gauge to measure mine. The pins on my gun were to long and seemed to be to pointed. I stoned them down to .055" and rounded them off. This solved the problem. terc

OP jj hawkins Boxlock Joined: Mar 2015 Posts: 15 Upstate New York	Yeah im definitely going to measure how far the pins protrude tonight. Im thinking either I have a problem with the ammo im shooting or the pins are justtttt long enough that they burst a primer every now and again I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately

OP jj hawkins Boxlock Joined: Mar 2015 Posts: 15 Upstate New York	Thanks everyone for all the advice. I have a couple of things to check and possibly correct tonight. If I alter anything / shoot again I will update tomorrow. I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately

OP jj hawkins Boxlock Joined: Mar 2015 Posts: 15 Upstate New York	Soo I measured the pins yesterday. They came in aroun.650 - .660 which doesn't seem too far out of line but maybe just enough to split a primer every now and again? they do also look to be a little sharp. I think ill hone them just a touch to shorten and round them off. I did shoot 25 rounds of Fiocchi last night and didn't run into any more split primers.

OP jj hawkins Boxlock Joined: Mar 2015 Posts: 15 Upstate New York	Yes I think that should solve my issues. Ill probably do that tonight, maybe shoot again tomorrow and I will post an update as soon as I have some results. I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately
