Light strikes in a Glock 19. Gun was fully in battery and a second attempt was made after inspection and rechambering. These 2 failures occurred out of a batch of 70 or so.
On inspection, the primers are 0.011" deep. I still have the batch of primed brass that these loads came from. Measuring a small sample of them (all Win brass), I am measuring a primer depth of 0.006" to 0.010". I guess that's too deep!? I didn't even know you could seat a primer too deep?
I also have a some prepped cases using a CCI primer. I fished out a few Win brass from the lot and measured primer depth of 0.002 to 0.003".
The primers on the deep lot are Tulammo. I've loaded up only a few batches, and this is my first time firing them.
So whadya think? Should a Glock be able to light a primer that deep? Do I need to clean my Glock? Are Tulammo primers too short? Or am I crushing my primers in too hard (CCI seemed ok, and never a problem, before)?
BTW, these primers are noticeably pointier in their "dome" than CCI primers. But the dome has always flattened after I've seated them, CCI or Tulammo. Should a primer maintain its dome shape after seating?
