Small, Black Spheres in BCG?

Interesting article, Nature Boy.

There is only a few events that can bend the FP retainer. I've seen the pin bent is on ammo that is over charged, blowing primers. Since you were blowing primers you were releasing high pressure gas to drive the FP back against the retainer pin.

If it is bending that quickly I would be looking for the reason. It should not be happening.

Any ideas?

Cci 41 primers.

Why would I use primers that cost twice as much as the 450s?

41 primers have more gap between the cup and anvil aking them less sensitive. 41's are about $3 more per 1000 around my area then 450's

Alright so I'm going to use some thicker primers and hopefully they don't blow and bend my firing pin.

Okay, so I loaded up 100 rounds of 24.3 grains of varget with CCI 450 primers, and went to the range. All 100 rounds fired without a hitch, I took apart the bcg, and the retaining pin wasn't bent, and there was no foreign debris inside. Also, my groups and velocities were better than with the cci 400 primers and 24.3 grains of varget! Thanks everyone for all your help, and take care!
