Bergara Premier replacement bolt

Interesting. I had the light strike problem with my new Premier Approach in 7 mag a few years back. I cut down and tried a Wolff extra power spring, but it did not do any better with the handloads I was using. Cleaned and oiled the FP assembly, checked my primer seating routine a bunch of times...nothing worked.

I measured my firing pin protrusion, and it was .047"...maybe too little, maybe not.

I switched from CCI primers to Federal primers, and my problem immediately ceased. I haven't bothered with messing with it anymore, but I'm sure that I'd go back to about a 30% failure rate if I went back to CCI primers. I'm probably 300 trouble-free rounds now with Federal 215s.

The guy I take all of my rifle work to suggested I let him turn down the shoulder on the firing pin a bit to see if that would remedy the problem. That may be something that I look into someday.

Looking forward to hearing how you find your remedy.
