While on the subject of firing pins, I have a Rem 700 338Rum with a pin bore in the bolt face that looks as if it were touched with a cutter off center at the factory. Pin bore is .080, pin is .075, and the errant cut is .020+- deep, close as I can measure. Gave me some pressure indicators that didn't show on the other test rifle same load and day. I figured it out OK, but now I'm wondering if I should weld and re-cut, or bush it, or just leave it be?
Any experience with similar findings on Rem bolts?
The loads levels are starting and very slow powders, that's what got my attention with the radical primer indications. Both rifles were chambered with the same reamer and neck sized cases inter-change perfectly.
Rem brass and Over-size primer pockets kinda POd me, Pin gauge says .2125 new from the factory. Other brass is at .2105 to .2110, and stays close to that after use.
Reference the bushing of the bolt play, does Jackie bush the bolt or the rear bridge?
