T O M: I have A Remington XR-100 in 204 Ruger that has a slightly over-sized firing pin hole in its bolt.
It causes a "cratering" appearance to the firing pin indentation of the 204's primers.
I had this "condition" checked by a competent Riflesmith (who used to be a Remington factory authorized gunsmith/repairman!) and he said no worries were to be valid UNLESS I "hot-rodded" the handloads in this Rifle.
He knows me better than that and suggested I do nothing.
Were YOU "hot-rodding" your handloads in the Rifle/Rifles you ruined the Jewell Triggers in?
And for my information also how does a weak firing pin spring enter into your former situation with the Federal 205 Match Primers?
TIA
And sorry for the loss (damage to?) your Jewell Triggers - yes they are expensive but they are fine products.
I quit buying them several years ago as Remington's latest triggers have been just exceptioanl - in my opinion.
Hold into the wind
