[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 4212918, member: 12277"] I would suspect your screen name 1st. :) Seriously, oil on your hands is what I mean. Primers can't tolerate any oil. While different amounts of force used to seat primers could cause some measurable difference in accuracy I've never had a problem with that being the cause for a primer to not go off at all. Unless you are really souring down on them and crushing the pellet I just doubt that is the problem. It also could be some peculiar problem such as I recently had with my Marlin 35 Remington where failures to fire were caused by several factors other than the primer. In my case it was due to an aftermarket hammer spring(weaker than factory), re-sizing die adjustment and peculiar cast bullet design which COULD have contributed due to bullet being jammed into rifling which made lever hard to close. Prior to that event I had loaded since the mid 1970's with only one centerfire cartridge failing to fire. Most of mine have been primed on the reloading press too which is considered the most crude priming tool. [/QUOTE]
