    Or mirror polishing the firing pin and reinstalling with a stronger spring to reduce lock time. Either way, don't touch that nice barrel.

    I'm just going to leave the crown as is for now.
    I polished the firing pin a while ago when I had some light primer strikes although it turned out to be unrelated.
    I think there is a bit more room for improvement in the load, I have changed primers since my initial load development due to availability without any major testing and will look into finding some higher quality brass than the PPU I'm currently using could be worth looking into
