Bit of an update for anyone still interested. I swapped the factory rem trigger back in and it's still bloody misfiring on the cheap perfecta ammo. I compared the primer strikes/indents from all the cartridges fired from this gun compared to my other Rem 700 .270 and even on the ones that fired the indent is much shallower than the other rifle with no issues. This is now leading me to believe the issue is perhaps the firing pin length/protrusion is not what it should be, or there is too much headspace.
This is a 2nd hand gun, new to me. Purchased from a gun store. Think i'm going to take it back and ask for a refund. I really don't have the patience for them to try and fix the issue i've known friends with lemon guns like this which took numerous trips to the gunsmith before the real issue was identified and fixed. Would rather just buy a different gun that has no issues from the get-go.
