Primers
I recently had a number of primer punctures will RST 16 gauge shells. I think it is caused by thin primer metal. Tom

I too have had pierced primers with cheddites/RST's but only with a couple of my hammer guns - never with a Parker hammerless.

I get pierced primers occasionally also--and come to think of it, seems to be with hammer guns and my reloads. I use W209 and cheddite primers interchangably, so dont recall if it was more with one or the other. I thought that perhaps I occ. didnt get the primer seated deep enough. Does this cause a problem/danger?

Gas escaping through the firing pin port in the breech face can cause enough pressure to blow chunks out of your stock head.
W&C Scott's Patented Gas Check System was apparently invented for just this problem. Illustrated is a Grade 6 which had this done to it by a Cleveland, Ohio gunsmith early in the last century. .

Interesting
I recently had new swivel/links made for a hammergun's locks - non Parker The first two shots after the repair -with 12ga factory RSTs - had pierced primers. I cannot see how that repair could have altered the impact - maybe chedditte primers have actually gotten thinner recently - although I fired the rest of that box from a Fox with no issues

In the original post, I was shooting a Parker hammerless 12ga GH. The escaping gas blew a chip off the top of the stock starting at the breech and extending about 2 inches back along the top tang.
I was shooting alone on 16yd. station one. I was lucky to find the chip on the far side of station 3 at the 20 yd. line. |
