These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Try a Remington 9 1/2 primer in both calibers. They have a pretty hard surface.

Does it crater with virgin brass and correctly sized fired brass? From my limited experience, possible causes are: Sloppy headspace Load is too hot Oversize firing pin hole This is my bolt after gre-tan bushed the hole and turned down the pin. https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt...59/gre-tan-repaired-my-bolt#Post14630559
