On my Remington 700 5R, whenever I look at a case that I had just shot, the primer strike from the firing pin is dead center every time.
When I look at the rounds from an older Mauser rifle that I have the firing pin strikes are not consistent; some are dead center, some are sort of center and some are a bit off.
What does this mean in relation to the firearm and accuracy? Head-spacing is off? Or is this just something that happens? The firing pin does not <span style="font-style: italic">appear</span> to be bent and the gun goes bang 100% of the time when I pull the trigger.
I don't shoot the Mauser out very far but have been playing around with the idea and wanted to work out anything that will hinder this.
Thanks
