I have a number of Marlin 90's and while I havent experienced primer perforation, I do have one that, while the breech face is correct, the firing pin is, as well, and the fp spring is also right, it strikes light (doesnt always go off) when using Remington factory shotshells. No other brand; just Rem's. Is there a possibility of "harder primer metal?"
