let us know how things turn out .

heck your rifle was built in my neck of the woods . Jim Eazor is probably about an hour away from me . a lot of good Smiths in PA .

this post reminds me I have one that needs sent back . I swapped out a scope for a very similar issue , about a year ago before a moose hunt . I couldn't take that scope, knowing what it did .

if you're already set up to reload , definitely yes , load for it . or if reloading is something you have wanted to do , yes do it . for what everything costs today , and the cost and availability of components I'm not sure I'd start reloading for just one rifle .

I don't think I've ever had black eyed peas , I'll have to google up some dishes to see what it looks like . my family didn't get together for news years this year . we gathered at my Mom's for Christmas , and we got the flu . Mom was the only one that didn't get sick . she is going to...

I've read , a weak firing pin spring can cause this , and firing pin drop or travel . I remember reading an article similar to this problem . I kind of remember them changing the spring . then they got to looking into it deeper because it had an aftermarket trigger . something needed done...

I'd use them . I'm using CCI , and WIN primers from the early 1980's . no problems with them .

I've worked with H4895 in reduced loads a fair amount . I doubt if I ever checked ES , or SD numbers with it seeing as these would be 200 yard max ammo . I never seen a problem using it . didn't seem dirty . wasn't position sensitive . no hang fires . it just worked well , for me ...
