[QUOTE="Snowwolfe, post: 4213296, member: 14220"] I wouldn't worry about dirty hands. Eventually oil will disable a primer but it takes a lot. The most important issue is how did your rifle shoot factory rounds? If there were no misfires then the answer is truly with your reloads. My gut tells me you might not be seating the primers deep enough. Run your finger tip over the base of the brass, can you feel the primer sticking up? If so, then seat them deeper next time. Another possibility is a shallow primer pocket. This is also easy to fix with the right tool but if this is the case Starline should replace the brass. If you never used factory ammo and the primers are seated deep enough then my next suggestion would be a thorough cleaning of the bolt and firing pin area. If you are close to Cookeville or Crossville give me a shout and we can load up some rounds at my place and see if they work as I own a 45-70 as well. Rule out one variable at a time and good luck. Hopefully it is something simple so your rifle doesn't require a trip back to the manufacture. [/QUOTE]
