A lightly used Ruger #1 does not whack the primers with authority. It misfired a few times with primers seated in 30-06 cartridges that never fail to fire in my bolt actions. As long as the primers are seated with bone crushing force, the misfires have stopped, but the indents are feeble and don't inspire confidence. This is the case with unfired, new brass as well as used, reloaded cases. Headspace looks fine. I've removed the firing pin, cleaned and inspected the pin and breechblock. That Ruger firing pin point is tiny but undamaged. Is there a gunsmith who makes and installs parts necessary to deliver a more decisive strike than the factory design?
