Myself, i use shims under the firing pin bushing until the desired result is achieved.

The advantage is there will be zero blow by. The advantage is all the heat from the primer reaches the powder. The advantage is the bottom of the scope won't be singed.
ron i would like to know what kind and size of shims you use and where can i get them.Thanks
