"Cocking rods/arms could be worn" could be the problem, possibly aggravated by my tendency to baby the gun. I have not seen any drag marks on the primer, but I haven't really been looking too closely at the fired hulls.

Thanks everyone

Are you aware that they must be "play in the triggers" which means that there is a few thousands of an inch gap between the triggers where they contact the sears with the safety disengaged ? With the safety engaged there should be no play. If you are saying that this clearance does not exist with safety disengaged, then you need to determine why this is the case and correct it.
