Bat/CZ fire pin action primers

[jhn]

Hey guys.

Litle history first, in short, started with a CZ750 .308 with precision
matches.

After 4 or 5 years a friend invited me to use his Bat machiene 30br.
Max points are 250, i went from 227 to 247, on a strange rifle.

So i was better than my CZ.

Got myself a Bat machiene, with a LW match barrel 22' in .222.
In a mcMillan ath stock, sniper fill.
Shoots aferage 2,65MM/about 0.1 moa.

Quistion starts from here.

In my CZ i always using cci primers, never a fail or mailfuction, the cz fire

pin in a rugged and heavy firepin, and almost has his own recoil.

Same in my Bat .222, fired over 400 rounds now and had about 5 misfires.
Today at the range 1 misfire but second strike would fire, and 1 delayed
fire, (pulled the trigger and after 2 seconds it fired).

In misfire i always do 30 counts before bold handling!

Is the Bat more gentle/soft on strike, are my cci primers too hard.
Ways to check problems?
I dont know.
What you guys think?

Much regards Johan, NL

Some plus info, on my Anschutz 1813 super match .22lr, Cz453 varmint .22lr, and my cz750 i feel the firepin fibration in my cheek.
On the Bat i dont.

Try replacing the firing pin spring.I had the same issue when I switched from Federal to cci 450 primers.New spring= end of problem.All cci 450 ignite on first hit.

Steps I would take before spending any money on parts
1. Verify that you don't have excessive head space due to bumping the shoulders excessively when resizing your brass.
2. Make sure you are seating primers firmly to the bottom of the primer pockets.
3. Disassemble and clean the bolt body and firing pin assembly. Apply a light coat of oil , no grease.
4. Check the firing pin fall per the BAT website.
If none of this helps the problem then call BAT and discuss with them.

Good luck

Oke checked all.

1 with new brass, and some tape. removeded fire pin before testing with new brass, the bolt just falls down.
One layer of tape on new brass, instead of falling down, stuck at begining of locking.
Second test ,2 tape layers, FULL lock!!
Measermants are o,21MM /o.oo826Inch full lock, 0,1MM/0.00416inch 25% cock.

On saami site for .222 rem is 1.29/1.30MM a standart???.

2 , working on it, maybe after many years my mind slip??

3 Did that.

4 Did made a picture, but some how didnt showup on the drive.
Fire pin is exulaly a bit longer then mention on Bat site, 1,55MM/0.061Inch.

Whats left is my primer handling, did i get sloppy over the years?

Ahwel slap myself behind the ears, and focus!

Thanks guys for all the info, and a pic of my messeure tools i use.

Grats from NL Johan

I would look at primer seating and headspace.. You should be able to pop all primers if things are correct.. One other thing you could do is measure firing pin fall.

What is the fall? You hand seating primers?
