	Frank, Lost track of this thread awhile ago but got back on track again. You might want to look at one very important component of your process. For what it's worth, I would take a hard look at your firing pin protrusion. You appear to have extremely light hits and even with 2 pins are resulting in less than optimum ignition.

	Tim, The firing pins rebound, I think that's why your seeing them as light. Ive fired more than 1000 rounds now w/o a mis or hang fire. Oneatatime, I looked one Midways site and I couldn't find any for sale. Frank

Oneatatime, I looked one Midways site and I couldn't find any for sale. Frank Rebounding pins are fine, case crush from pins are telling. Consistant fire does not tell you much. The difference between going bang and optimum is wider than you might think and is the subject of countless tests in the rimfire benchrest world as well as suppliers of match ammunition such as ELEY. Countless numbers of benchrests agree on one thing, and I have tuned more than a few actions.....you want ignition/pin strike to aproach the rim closing upon ignition for the most consistant ignition. A pin may rebound, a pin print into a case will not. With all the trouble you take with this.....a simple experiment to try??? .

The double pin probably doesn't do anything for you, put a single pin replacement in there to test for somewhere around .024"-.027" protrusion and test. You want the rim edge closed, not crushed. More pin is better, you can trim it back as needed.

	Pulling up an old thread. Has anybody pursued this during these past years?

	I have a question, too. 8 years ago, why did I even ask it? Was I thinking about loading them with BP?

	In the turn of the last century, it was done and may have been, some what common, as you could purchase bullet molds and primed bras, at that time. For the life of me, I don't understand why the BP guys don't require it or at least promote it.
