probably just worked out to JUST contact, minimal crush. As long as its working clean

I mistakenly just assumed you inadvertently added an extra zero. My bad. You probably just have minimal crush as it is. Did you shim your plug or is it just stock?
Is the BP you measured a Lehigh plug or Knight? Yours sounds like it is on the edge but if it is working why bother. I would not worry about it till you start getting some blow back in a new bunch of primers. We have off and on discussed the shims since around 2010 or so, but your right it has come up a lot in the last several months. I think a lot of that is started from New members trying to figure out what guys here are doing.WV Hunter said:ShawnT said:WV hunter,

Stock, no shim. When I started this knight bolt gun / bh209 journey last spring, I was told that W209 were a bit longer and worked very well in the extreme/elite with both Lehigh and Knight BPs. So that is what I got and so far so good. The talk on shimming has seemed to be much more popular here in the last few months (especially in the mountaineers/UL's), I don't recall reading much about it a year ago (with W209 primers).
I have shot the Lehigh BP w these same W209 primers with zero blowback. I have not shot the Knight BP, but it feels basically about the same when I cycle it. I guess it could leak, who knows.
