I'm just starting to reload for 9mm. Up until now i've been doing .223 and .308 exclusively. All that the local gun shop had was Federal No. 100 small pistol primers. I've loaded about 100 now and 3 have failed to fire. Good firing pin strikes on all three, and I tried a second strike just in case. After decapping the primers looked to have a normal amount of primer material.
Is this normal for Federal pistol primers? I've not had any failures with their rifle primers. Could this just be a fluke in the batch that is in this one package?
Thanks
