Reminds....BTW, my 3 revolvers with too LONG of a factory FP were.....2x 1860 R-Ms, 44Colt and 1x 1851 R-M, 38Spl.
All three pierced primers until remedied.

My OT has a cone type FP & has worked perfectly.

Oh...Additional things come into with pierced primers such as as headspace... unless you have an M203 grenade launcher which automatically corrects excess headspace.  ::)

 In the case of those differently shaped conversion FP's (different from the OT's), I don't think they were too long but too sharp, and needed to be dulled.  I think the new ones are the same.  At least the conversion FP's don't bend like those first long Opentop FP's did.
