Primers were struck WAY off center. Curious, when the shell was rotated 90 degrees, the pin tried to follow the first strike.

Tight on face is not the same as headspace,although asloppy fit and headspace together are worse. Take a set of calipers and measure the actual headspace and, as mentioned, the firing pin protusion. If both of these are reasonable, then the problem is most likely the springs.

I agree and side with the tired mainspring theory. I would check the firing pins, and see if they're mushroomed out on the striking surface. Just a thought...
