Going through some of my brass and found a few pierced primers. Ammo is Factory Hornady 75gr Match .223 fired out of my Armalite
M15A4(T) Stainless Match barrel
I checked the firing pin and under a magnifiying glass I can see a very small chip or imperfection.
Do you think the chip in the pin is the result of the ammo or the pierced primer is the result of the firing pin?
I think the dimple in the middle of the primer strike is from the firing pin defect
Heres a pic of the pin
What you guys think??
