Gunsmithing Are these light primer strikes?

I just got my .308 build completed and I went to sight it in and these are the first 3 rounds. I didn't try to shoot anymore because to me they looked like good primer strikes.
I did install a SSS Competition trigger and when no round is in it fires good and hard but when a round is in it it feels like the firing pin just doesn't move fast enough and I can feel what feels like something making 2 movements and it feels like it fired very weak. Sorry for the bad description but that's what it is to me.

I just looked at my Savage 110 in .270 and 30-06 and when the gun is cocked and I pull the trigger the bolt moves forward ever so much. On my .308 the bolt doesn't move forward it just rotates counter clockwise a tiny bit

Did those three rounds fire?

No

Military primers/rounds? I have a rifle with an aftermarket trigger spring set (AR) that won't ignite military primers as they are harder than "civilian" primers. I just shoot them in my other gun. Only shoot reloads in the gun with light springs with zero issues. Strikes looked similar to yours.

These are Monarch steel 145gr. The monarch shoots great in my other guns

The headspace could be on the long side, the striker is dragging, the striker spring is weak or your FP protrusion is less than it should be.

Is this on a Savage? If so, how did you set your headspace?

My dad just put those rounds in it and it fired just fine in 2 of them we didn't try the third. I think it may be hard primers although I tried to fire the first round 4 times by cocking and firing.
It is a brand new Savage 11. I took it to a reputable local gunsmith.
