Hi guys,
I've loaded 30.06 for a while and some 8mm Mauser and I went to test my first loads of .223 and had several duds. In working up charges, the first 20 shot without fail. Over the next 20, about 15 failed to fire. After those 15, I shot 45 PMC Bronze without fail. All of the reloads used the same tray of new WSR primers, poured into the same primer flip tray, picked up with the same tube, primed on the same Hornady LnL AP, all cases were lubed with Hornady case lube, delubed with a cloth with a small amount of rubbing alcohol, and all had solid hits on the primer.
Any opinions on what could be causing this?
Thanks,
Demos
