:booboo: Well hopefully not, you tell me.
When the primer shortage eased up I bought 5000 small pistol Std primers of the very first brand I could find, Remington.
No problems with them other than an occasional pierced primer and only in one new pistol.
Not really a concern because only a very small amount of gas escapes. But I'm thinking maybe Rem is using as thin of a cup as they can get by with.
Or is it the pistol? It doesn't look like the primers are getting hit too hard so........
This time I thought I would try CCI small pistol Std and I bought 5000 at a gun show last week.
Then I read some current reviews.
Several shooters reported a fail to fire issue with CCI primers. All said it only happens with CCI and no other.
In the past I've never had any sort of problems with Rem, Win, Fed small/large pistol or large rifle primers but I've rarely used CCI.
I decided against Win because I had one large rifle primer (recent manufacture) 'burn through' on the edge and take out a little metal on the bolt face.
It was certainly not an overload so I'm thinking thin cup. Is that the new norm? Use the least amount of metal as possible!!!
Anybody having fail to fire issues with CCI primers? What brand do you use?
:thankyou:
