I have yet buy a bullet puller... gonna have to now.
I reloaded cast bullet for the .30-.30. Plain based 170 grain fn bullet. Cast out of wheelweights. Used 9.5 grains of unique over CCI Large Rifle Primer. Primed on the press using Lee Priming Unit. Most did not fire. Those that did showed great accuracy.
Primers are from the same batch. They appear to be seated deep (can't get any deeper and they are below flush with the case head). Tried to reload the same cartridges multiple times without any luck. Normal indention on the primer when compared with the ones that did fire.
The rifle is a Marlin 336c .30-.30.
Only thing I can think of is to use my Lee Hand Primer to load them to see if priming on the press is my problem, but it hasn't been a problem in the past.
What could be causing the problem? (hoping RC answers since he has a plethora of expertise).
