One option is to measure the W209 primer ahead of time; only take the longer primers. Some of the W209 primers are shorter than others. 0.003" of crush isn't much, and will allow leakage after a few shots when soot accumulates. Another thing to consider is chances are, whilst hunting you will never ever shoot your rifle 15 times, so you won't have issues hunting.
For me, the solution would be to take only the longer primers hunting.
From my experience, your biggest issue is the breech plug with the brazed in vent liner. It will wear out quickly. Soon you will need a new plug. Instead of shimming the plug, just purchase a good plug to fit your rifle from bestill.
Ok sounds good... is bestill a member on here or is it a shop?
