L Cazador Report post Posted November 23, 2022 Brunos and Sportsmans deer valley had in stock. Brunos 14% off black friday discount! By the way don't buy small rifle primer brass unless you have small rifle firing pin in your rifle bolt. You'll have ignition problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will have to check my 6 rifles that shoot SRPs and see what firing pins they have. Two Lone Peak Fuzions (6CM & .260AI) Two Defiance Deviant (Tac & GA Hunter) (25CM & 6.5CM) A Kelbly Nanook (25CM) Savage Axis (6.5CM) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Problems occur when you're at the top end of the load. Blanked or partial blanking. Gre-tan in Colorado does an excellent job of bushing bolt and turning firing pins. I'd say the Axis probably doesn't. Of course if you didn't specify when you bought your custom actions they may have large firing pins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've shot around 200 hand loads in 6.5cm Lapua srp brass with gm205m primers in a stock Tikka T3x with no issues at all? Heard of needing smaller decapping pin due to smaller flash hole but not a smaller firing pin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
