Contrary to the next line in the description, it will help with blowby if your bushing is recessed in the frame.
Yes I see that little thing at the bottom warning...

"PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU PURCHASE
The purpose of the Shim Kit is ONLY to bring your firing pin retainer flush with the frame. This Shim Kit will NOT reduce the blow back caused from the use of 209 shot shell primers. If you attempt to force you firing pin retainer out beyond being level with the frame you make cause the rifle not open and or close. CVA is not responsible for any one that miss uses this shim kit.

So I will call them... and see what they suggest.

CVAHunter the CCI are in a blue box and say, "shotshell" primers. They were suggested because they are supposed to be hot primers and I had some terrible ignition problems when first shooting Winchester W209 primers.
