Never had any issues with CCI and I load with all of them.
That is what has me wondering if CCI had a semi-bad production run, and didn't happen on a 'no-pop' in random testing.I use Winchester large and small pistol primers most of the time. I bought a RCBS primer press at a swap meet that my gun club had a few years ago and it did come with 1000 CCI large pistol primers in strips that the primer press uses. And I had no problem with any of them not firing when I shot them in my Rugar Single action revolver in .45lc, Rock Island Armory 1911 in .45acp, or either of my Rossi lever action Rifle or lever hand guns both in .45lc. and no problems with the Winchester pimers which I shoot in all of my guns both rifles and handguns. Over the past 5 years I only remember having just one primer not firing when I pulled the trigger. But it did fire the second time. But I also haven't had to buy any primers for four years now so I don't know if things have changed.
Ohhhhhhhhh Heck,I have only used CCI primers in .32 and 38spl. I have had only a few that took a second strike to fire off out of well over 1000 rounds.
Good luck. After I switched from CCI to Winchester small pistol primers, the 2 guns that were having FTF, requiring 2nd hammer strikes, no longer did that. I still suspect it was a bad lot.Ohhhhhhhhh Heck,
If those guns are in good working order, those primers are not.
Until the shortage I used Win primers, Rem some in the early days.
The first primers I could get my hands on after the shortage eased up was some Fed and 5000 Rem.
(About 4000 Remington fired).
Never had a single fail to fire in about 36 years with my loads. (Knocking on wood over here).
My Rem supply is getting kinda low.
I bought 5000 CCI..... A single FTF is not acceptable to me, hope I didn't screw up!
I'll likely get to the CCI sometime soon. Wish me luck.
