THIS is the problem:
I have a Taurus Tracker .218 Bee that when I load it to about 80% of max., the primer extrudes into the firing pin hole, and the cylinder locks up. This is about 1950 fps with a 40 gr. bullet.
With the cylinder open, I can depress the firing pin back (deeper) to beyond the face of the recoil plate (or whatever that part is called). The firing pin hole does not seem too large for the firing pin diameter.
I think I could make a new firing pin long enough so that it would only depress to the point it was flush with the recoil plate, and the above mentioned problem would cease. What do YOU think?
