Hi all, I think it is a primer problem but I am not sure.
I brought my Charter Arms, Bulldog .357 to the range today with 50 .38's and 50 .357's I loaded
The .38's were using LSWC 158g bullets, 4.2g universal and the .357's were same bullet with 4.6g universal. All rounds were accurate but I had 2 out of the batch that did not fire on the first strike. It took two strikes before they would fire. The other 98 were fine, and I shot 200 9mm with the same primers and no misfires of any kind there...
The primers are Federal Small Pistol Magnum.
IS 2 out of 300 acceptable? Seems like a bad ratio to me, but these were my first 300 pistol rounds I ever loaded
PS - I was able to shoot 300 rounds today when 2 months ago I couldn't afford ammo!!
