What Tony says is correct, however, in my experience, it is just as important that there is a good, close fit between the pins and the bores that they fit into. If there is a gap between the nose of the firing pin and the surrounding steel, the primer metal, under pressure of ignition, will flow into it and possibly rupture. That can ruin your day, your gun, and possibly your hand and face.
