View Full Version : Are these weak primer strikes?

I just got my .308 build completed and I went to sight it in and these are the first 3 rounds. I didn't try to shoot anymore because to me they looked like good primer strikes.
I did install a SSS Competition trigger and when no round is in it fires good and hard but when a round is in it it feels like the firing pin just doesn't move fast enough and I can feel what feels like something making 2 movements and it feels like it fired very weak. Sorry for the bad description but that's what it is to me.

I just looked at my Savage 110 in .270 and 30-06 and when the gun is cocked and I pull the trigger the bolt moves forward ever so much. On my .308 the bolt doesn't move forward it just rotates counter clockwise a tiny bit

The one on the right looks a little light. Do you dry fire it alot? and when is the last time you took the bolt apart?

That also looks like "cheap" ammo, did you have any mid grade stuff? that looks to be some sort of brown bear or cheaper russian stuff and I was under the impression those had hard primers

They were all the same it's just the picture. I don't dry fire a lot and the gun has never had a round down it. I bought it new to build.
The ammo is Monarch 145gr. My dad put those rounds in it and it fired just fine in 2 of them we didn't try the third. I think it may be hard primers although I tried to fire the first round 4 times by cocking and firing

I'd pull it apart and see if there is anything obvious with it. You do mean you got it brand new or used from someone who said they didn't shoot it alot?

Have you checked the firing pin protrusion?

I have not taken the bolt apart yet. I was siding that from the factory it would be put together correctly
