I was spoken out turn but changing the booster but I stand correcting. I tried it with 3 shots with the booster tight and all three primers were priced. Then I did some reading here and I cannot find the post, but I thought a couple of the posters thought that losing the booster would help. I then I backed the booster and shot it three times and all three primers were intact.

Then John then told me I was wrong and I got flamed, correctly, and I then changed the main spring and a new barrel and changed the firing pin with a new one and a new firing pin spring too. I twisted the booster to tight and now it seems to work just fine.

Actually, it works too well now. Now I can’t now afford to shoot it.

Your project was a success, I think? We can't do anything about the cost of ammo, we just help people shoot it.

NO flame was intended to anyone. Sometimes I get maybe a little vigorous in my explanations. It's all with the best of intentions. :D
