I replaced 4-5 on my encore since i got it . Thats the reason i just went to a .25acp conversion and 777 . I feel its the loose fitting 209 primers ( bad seal ) that are doing the flame cutting and not the powder . IMO .Like i posted before this was using a new breech plug and firing off only 15-20 Winchester primers ( no powder) . I had flame cutting in the primer pocket and flames coming out the space between the receiver and barrel . The .25 acp conversion cured that for me .
