Tula Large Rifle Primer failure to fire

[gotcha]

That's not a typo. Protrusion is not the whole story when it comes to reliable ignition. Some research indicates the firing pin only indents the primer approximately .025 regardless of protrusion. On the Savage, decreasing the protrusion increases the pin fall which evidently helps with available striking energy. Anyway you look at it I am happy with the results as shown on target and by the chronograph.

Good move ! The Savage Guru Fred Moreo of SSS recommends .035" to .045" protrusion as ideal. Shortening Savage protrusion works exactly as you stated

I love the Tula 5.56 Magnum SRP`s for my BR-DX bbl with H4350,,they will seat tight in brass that is loose with CCI 450s or Fed 205s and they are extremely tough,,,

I had a few misfires at first but learned to almost crush them when seating and never had anymore problems and my SD/ES were crazy good and they will take pressure like none other,,
but alas they quit importing them and I am down to about 400 left,,
