Well the rifle kicked pretty good on all the shots, but that one that actually bent the metal of the hammer was a little more intense. I would almost guarantee that it was seated properly. I have gotten into the habit of when I seat the bullet, I lean my weight on them to make sure they are tight on the charge. And I was swabbing, so its not like a crud ring fooled me. Maybe I will give T/C a call and see what they suggest. That hammer is the off set one as it has not problems clearing scopes at all.

Amazing the difference when shooting with a T shirt VS a winter jacket for recoil.
