An issue I have been having for some time is that my primers from fired rounds stick out slightly. I had taken the gun into a gunsmith to have the headspace checked and he told me it was fine and "pretty tight". The primers seem to stick out about the same no matter what load I'm firing and appear on some factory Federal ammo that was high velocity as well. The factory ammo primers protrude about .003-.005". Is this enough to be worried about? I have some slight stretching towards the head of my brass as well that is not excessive but exists none the less.
My questions are: Is there anything else that could cause this? Is this acceptable? I am hoping that the gunsmith did not charge me for something he did not inspect during his busy season. All of the signs point to excessive head space. I could take it somewhere else but only if there are no answers to this little riddle.
