When I started loading some 40 years ago with my little Rock chucker single stage I never had an issue. BUT! It was the bras I had shot and bought and reloaded. Now I have a few 5gl buckets around here with who knows how many head stamps. So put these together, my XL 650 and range brass. I get soft primer strikes to around 4%. But that 4% sucks. If I retry the round in the same gun it won't fire. But, most all of these soft strikes will fire in another one of the 9's. Some will not fire in anything. A buddy thought the powder that likes to "pop" up as the 650 indexes leaks to a space under the case holder? Another thought the first strike was setting the appropriate primer depth. But if that's right, wouldn't it fire on the next attempt? And, all the 9's will have an issue. We take about 6 different 9's to the range. CCW to heavy stuff 47 oz guns. It's driving me nuts. all the stuff passes plunk test. I bought a sizing block just for this. I also drop soft stuff strike into the 9's barrels and retest the plunk? Another friend thought that I might have old primers. No idea. Thoughts?
