What is the minimum distance the tip of the firing pin must extend beyond the breach face to have reliable primer ignition.

I have A and C grade Foxes that measure 0.055/0.062 and 0.049/0.053 and neither has experienced a misfire. Both guns have face off of less than 0.0015.

I have not been able to find a primer specification or gun
specification and the local gunsmiths are not aware of a minimum length.

Thanks
