Thread: High Pressure or weak firing pin spring

Oops - lost the post half way through typing it and didn't recheck it so sorry for only half the info . . .

Mauser 98 action, 6.5x47L, and Quickload has been calibrated with fired case water capacity and seating depth. As its a Mauser I'm being careful not to "hotrod" it, I think a max pressure of 55,000 to 58,000 psi is reasonable though. Its a new build with careful headspacing and is showing excellent accuracy. The 'Smith wasn't asked to bush the firing pin but I probably should have as I know 6.5x47L is known for this, although I wouldn't have though it would manifest itself at modest pressures/velocities (velocities are in the 2750 fps range)
