The strikes on these cartridges completely miss the center.
I agree.Many guns fail to hit the center "perfectly" and still do just fine.It appears as though the pin may be hitting a little too far off.The high part of the anvil is in the center.If the firing pin is sharp,that's something else that needs to be addressed.Has this same gun done well with other ammo?
