[QUOTE="LanceS4803, post: 4232950, member: 9491"] Just yesterday I read a great article on primers, of all things. I was waiting for tires at Sam's Club and it was either Recoil or another mag on long range shooting. Wish I could remember which one it was. edit: I found the magazine today, Guns & Ammo - Sniper. Anyway, they listed the many reasons for a primer to fail to fire. #1 Failure to have the bolt fully down. Impedes firing pin speed. I never knew this one, but seen a lot during the heat of competition. Crud in firing pin channel. Improper seating depth Chamber dimensions, allowing cartridge to move forward during primer strike. Out of dimension primer pocket that doesn't allow the anvil to compress According to the author (Black Hills ammo) his incidents of true defective primers number about 2 out of 300,000 using WInchester. One thing they mentioned is if you have a misfire, DON'T restrike the primer. The primer material has already fractured after the first strike and it likely won't work now. But a double strike makes it impossible to examine and get a proper analysis by the manufacturer. [/QUOTE]
