Took my son to the range on Xmas eve. He's been wanting to shoot that Enfield so it went with us. As I was putting the brass into the box, I noticed that about 5 of the 20 had through holes in the primer. I thought back about shooting it and I could swear I felt on my face, on a couple of shots, like the percussion of the rifle had kicked up some sand or something and pelted my face with it. I'm wondering now if that was chamber pressure pushing through some sort of gas check valve. Can someone tell me what may be going on? Could the firing pin be too long? I wouldn't think so as I've shot this rifle before and the primers weren't through-holed. Bad ammo? Is there a gas check in that rifle?
Thanks for the help and advice...
