Have you measured your pin protrusion ? I haven't seen a Barnard out of spec yet, but there's always a first.
Yes there is an aftermarket titanium pin available but the reduction in mass (wont help pin impact) and the increased bolt lift isn't very attractive.
Do you have misfires with neck sized only cases ?
Have you tried a different batch of 450 primers ?
I've fired 1000's of CCI450's in several Barnards and never had an issue, as the Australian distributor for Barnard products I'd like to get to the bottom of these issues and separate fact from fiction.

Matt all my cases are neck tuned.
l bump the shoulder so there is a little friction on closing the bolt with firing pin removed.
I have 3000 primers l have got a different times and tried them all.
Cant measure pin protrusion as bolt face rim is in the way.
