Took my new Adams arms .308 out to my dads today to zero my new scope. Was shooting factory federal 168gr Sierra match King. It punctured the primer on 8 out of 10 rounds and cratered the other two, no primer flattening, but the anvil came through the punctures. Went and got a 308 savage bolt gun, 3 rounds through that, no puncture, no primer deformation.
I didn't have any other ammo with me, but I am leaning toward a bad shaped or out of spec firing pin, or an over sized firing pin hole, I will have to wait till tomorrow to get measurements. The gun was also failing to eject but I think that may have to do with the primer issue.
