Light Primer Strikes Hog Hunter .223
I was breaking in a Hog Hunter in .223 today. It seems to be hitting the primer but not very hard.
I was shooting some Silver State Armory 77gr OTM loads and NONE of them would fire.
I shot some Brazilian CBC OTM loads and 10 out of 50 would not fire. For the 40 that did shoot it was a tack driver.
The Silver State Armory worked fine in a stock DPMS AR-15.
I took the bolt apart and lubed it inside and out and it still wouldn't light off the SSA loads. Everything seems to be working fine from a functional perspective. I think maybe the firing pin isn't protruding far enough or it just isn't hitting the primer hard enough. There's an imprint on the primer and it seems "ok" but I think it could be a little deeper.
Aside from sending the whole gun in to Savage is there anything I can do to adjust the firing pin?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
