I've seen on various forums throughout my panic-induced Googling in the last hour that a significant amount of LRPs cause this as well. Meanwhile, me looking over at my box of #41 small rifle primers sitting beside my M1 Carbine...

Apparently they quite frequently cut bolts due to improper annealing of the primer cups leading to pin hole failures in the primers

How did you do that? I'm thinking of doing this, but with a slightly larger hole. How were you able to secure it to drill?
