Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies. Ain’t easy havin pals.

Obliged Most of the time, to drill a new firing pin hole so the firing pin protrusion is a tight fit so primer metal won't flow into the gap. Also to improve firing pin strike accuracy especially if the firing pin hole is slightly off center of the primer when striking. In a few instances, the bolt face will be rough or damaged by escaping gases from damaged or blown primers and needs to be either faced off or, in severe cases, bushing the bolt face. I'm pretty sure I haven't hit all the reasons but I think these are the main reasons for bolt bushing... Never underestimate your ability to overestimate your ability.

Just got off the horn with Steve, absolutely no accuracy benefit to bushing a firing pin.. none of my rifles crater primers or blow primers, that’s why I’ve never paid attention to it.... he did say Greg is the man to do it...

Jud congrats did you ask what they use to break records? It ain’t a rem and if it was the pin would have been bushed. Last edited by fredIII; 04/19/19.

Standard fare on a Big Green fed SRP's. Google it. Hint................. Wow, that's pretty severe. There's a couple of guys I know who had similar issues, but not that bad. Except one of the rifles was a Merkel double barrel (side by side) in 7x65R - the primer extrusion would stop the action being opened easily and took a solid whack to break it open.
