Very unlikely CCI primers are the problem here.
Now that is weird. Win primers aren't, perhaps, quite as soft as Feds, but it is still odd. Now the Wolf I can understand; wonder where they came from? Buddy told me they had been banned for import four years ago.FYI: my new colt anaconda was mis-firing in DA mode. Wolf and Win primers. 44Mag.
Sent it back to colt, no obvious improvement.
So I thought CCI were hard primers too, but they solved all my mis-fire issues.
By implication, everyone and anyone who disagrees with you or had a different experience was obviously doing something wrong?I have used CCI and or Winchester primers for years - all sizes of metallic cartridges. I have Dillion XL 650 loading machines and the 'harder' primers work the best. Federal primers, long considered in my circle as the most sensitive primers tend to 'mash' when loading them with my progressives.
Of note, I shoot revolvers all double action. (Old S&W exclusively.) Many are 'slicked up', but it's more a matter of fitting the pawl to the hand and polishing the internals than weakening the mainspring.
Of further note, I used to shoot NRA 2700 Bullseye. Using a Ruger Standard Model, some later variations and finally a S&W model 41, I tried all types of U. S. made .22 lr ammo. CCI standard velocity was the most reliable. (To be fair, I didn't try any Eley or Norma. Wolf (SKG ?) was reliable as well.
Perhaps I was doing something wrong?
