I wouldnt call that over pressure, just a typical slam fire type of rifle that doesnt hold the primer in place very snug. Some break actions today have loose " head space" and shoot the primer back into the action and they get stuck.

If this just started I would check the flame hole in the BP for size, they do burn out and will cause more pressure on the primer.

On Ebay, I saw a replacement Knight breech plug that I think was said to be a 2nd generation breech plug that was vented for the earlier model Knight rifles.
I was looking because I just picked up a Knight that also uses those full plastic jackets.

i had to take the trigger off to get the tool in to take the breach plug out. the last shot the primer part got stuck in the top of the trigger part that has to lower to get the tool in.
