Vic in VA has it figured out, I think. Pay close attention to him, he's schmart!

I would also check the diameter of the firing pin, as oversized firing pin holes exist, and an oversized firing pin is the only way to mitigate that. They DO make them. I have changed out ALL my titanium firing pins for steel, too, I don't like them. Everyone went to titanium to avoid having to go "Series '80", so they can pass drop tests.
That's all a load of crap, steel is the way to go.

Here's some to choose from, I've no doubt other peddlers have their own versions.

You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
