Der Ami, no harm no foul. I was worried that i'd screw something up and liquify the solder holding on the barrel lug.

This is what the primers looked like. I talked with our gunsmith at work and he said it might be the jacketed bullets causing a higher pressure, given it was proofed for black powder.

The gun is also off face. It will readily close on a .003" shim. I assume ideal is .001" to .0005"?
