I think you need to do some measuring on your BCG and fire control group. Blaming this on the primer is sidestepping logic, provided your primers are seated to the correct depth. You can have the softest primer in the world and the firing pin should never touch it to set it off unless you pull the trigger. You have something out of spec. It’s possible that your firing pin is too long, protrudes too far out of the bolt, for a number of reasons or your trigger is malfunctioning. Get on YouTube and watch a bunch of episodes of School Of The American Rifle and you’ll soon gain an appreciation of how many things can be out of spec on any AR.
