[QUOTE="User67828, post: 2782636, member: 38638"] Well it was not a very productive day at the range. I tested at random targets with about 40 rounds of random WPA, PPU and Brown Bear with zero issues. I then set my targets up, loaded the Hornady Vintage Match and was greeted with 3 straight rounds of click/no boom. After close inspection I found that my firing pin was putting a very light strike on the Hornady primer. I tested again with a couple of rounds of S&B and a single round of surplus with no issues. It seems the Hornady primers sit about twice as deep in the casing as the other brands. Now my plan is to take just a very small amount off of the hammer where it strikes the pin, just to make the hammer sit 100% flush on the pin/bolt. I have shot from the same box of ammo prior to the install with no issues; Even though it is a very very small amount needed to flush it up with the bolt, I am sure that will fix it. Hopefully I'll be able to get back out to the range tomorrow or Friday. One thing I can say is that I will have to get used to this trigger. I let at least a couple of shots off prematurely. [/QUOTE]
