[QUOTE="DaveB, post: 4560247, member: 5958"] Can't be spring.......Has to be the 209 primer. The 3's must be Federal. No, some offshoot stuff like hevi-x or something Black hills. The firing pin will slam forward with the same degree of energy on the 2 3/4 as with the 3, since the pin don't know what it is hitting and the physical location of the primer is at the same exact location on both shells. You should get the same penetration of the pin. You ain't. The only thing stopping the pin is the hardness of the primer metal. If it was soft but over-thick you would get the ridge around the pin strike, you ain't getting that. So, the firing pin is hitting a harder metal so long as the aforementioned dimple is just that, a dimple. [/QUOTE]
