i purchased a ruger american 223 over 12 months ago, its been back and forth to the shop and the importer with this issue on factory, store bought ammo. the firing pin is .077, but also exhibited the primer backing out on low pressure hand loads. this rifle was replaced under warranty, but the replacement also exhibited the same issues, i had given up for a few months until last week where i decided to tackle this again myself hopefully i can find a gunsmith in australia that can bush a primer pocket for me and set the headspace correctly
