Off-Center Firing Pin: Problem or No Big Deal?

I have a Ruger #3 Single-Shot that has been re-barreled to a .270 Win. The fired cases show that the firing pin is hitting off-center. It has never seemed to bother the function or accuracy of the gun. I am having it re-barreled again & this time I'm going with a cartridge that uses small-primers. Does this look like it could be a problem?


BTW: This is a near max load, but slight cratering seems to be common even with lighter loads. I've always had great case life with this load.

TIA...
