Nucleus Light Primer Strikes
I’ve had no issues with any factory ammo or any primers other than the CCI 450’s. Received an email this morning from ARC. They will be sending 25# spring free of charge. Surprised since I emailed about a month ago and got a basic reply.- OzzieF

Nucleus Light Primer Strikes
My FP is also at .035” protrusion. All other primers I’ve used and shot through the action have fired(win srp, cci 400, cci 41, fed srp) Including a few rounds of factory federal match ammo as well as some wolf gold .223. Cci450’s are the only ones giving me issues. I’m hoping it may be this...- OzzieF

Nucleus Light Primer Strikes
Update to my light primer strikes. -I've checked and verified my pin protrusion and it is with in spec. - Swapped to the 19 lb spring. -I checked seating depth of 450 primers and all are seated correctly. - I swapped triggers from a Huber 2 stage to a TT Diamond. With everything done, the...- OzzieF

Nucleus Light Primer Strikes
All the help is much appreciated!! - I'll set it back to .030-.035" as suggested. See if that helps any. - After reading the thread through the first time, I double checked primers when I made the last batch. All primers were set correctly and no "high" primers were in the batch at least by my...- OzzieF

Nucleus Light Primer Strikes
So just measured it and I’m at .042” protrusion. I measured 3 times and got same every time so I’m confident in the measurement. Should I move it back closer to .040”-.035” or am I good there? I haven’t changed anything since my last outing with 30% misfires. Primers up are all misfires.- OzzieF

Nucleus Light Primer Strikes
I've tried regular small rifle primers and all have fired off. There should be no reason I shouldn't be able to use any primers I want.- OzzieF

Nucleus Light Primer Strikes
Excuse the ignorance, How do I measure the protrusion? Ive searched and the only way I can see how to measure is with a gauge. I took a picture of the FP before I took it apart and when I put it back it together it looked exactly the same. I double checked it tonight and its pretty much as far...- OzzieF

Nucleus Light Primer Strikes
After finally putting my rifle together and going out to test. I also have issues with light strikes from my Nucleus action. My first batch of test loads (using cci 450 primers) I had 50% not fire. I did some looking on the internet and I found this thread. So I cleaned my bolt of all grease...- OzzieF
