Primer trouble or is it me

99% of primer problems come from not seating them fully. Make sure they are at least a hair below flush.

The other 1% is weak springs.

That's a lot of duds for 300 rounds.
The other possibility is that the gun is slightly out of battery (effectively causing light strikes). If your reloads won't chamber correctly...
 
I think I got it!!!
I loaded 150 rounds and shot them today without a failure. I checked my primer seating, adjusted the crimp a little, seated the bullets just a tad deeper and checked them against a factory round in the chamber on both of my 9mms to make sure they were seating properly.

I think I had a combination of things effecting my ammo. Thanks so much to everybody for your help. :D
 
Only one thing affected the primers not going off, and that was the seating depth. Glad to got it worked out.
