	My Browning .223 low wall feels like it hits good but it's hits very light or will punch through the primer. All with new factory ammo. The gun shoots tight groups not even flyers, but something's not working. What could be the problem? Thanks

	How much headspace do you have?

	Factory ammo or hand loads? Clarence

	Regarding the pierced primers.Check the tip of your firing pin for any pitting or cratering on the firing pin. The hot gasses will actually eat away the metal and over time will only get worse leading to more damage to the firing pin and more pierced primers. Had a shooter with a rem 700 in 223. Showed me the pierced primers. Took apart the bolt and little pieces of primer came out and the tip of the firing pin was badly gas cut. Frank
