I tried these out this past weekend while sighting in my muzzleloader. Had 4 that didn't fire at all. Was wondering if you guys have experienced similar results? I'm using a TC Black Diamond and never had a problem before. Going to be looking for new 209 primers now.

I've never had one ftf using pyrodex. What powder are you using?
Could be a bad batch no doubt. Brand new or last year or two primers? I'm shooting some lately that I've had for 4-5 years and still firing 100% so far.
I use Black and these are one of the weaker primers out there - which I've found to be a good thing as they gave me the most accurate load in my in-lines compared to many other brands. I've never had any ignition issue with them.
You're on the right track to try another box - even if it's another brand.
You might be able to see the indention on the primer (fired and those that didn't) to see how hard your plunger is hitting?

What rifle? Could be a harder primer, head spacing (Encore) or weak hammer spring. Do you have a hammer with one of those levers attached for scope clearance? Crud around the pin from last year?
