Thought I would post this here in hope's of some good information on this problem. I worked up a few loads for a new rifle and finally got out to the range only to find that the firing pin didn't hit the winchester primer hard enough to make it go bang. Has anyone else had this problem, guess I need to put a stronger spring in the swede to make it hit the primer with more force or find a primer that's softer so the spring thats in it will work.
