I think I've got a problem: today while priming a bunch of new Starline .357 brass with Federal no. 100 Small Pistol primers, I pulled a few to test fire in my revolver.
All eight rounds I tried (no powder or bullet, just primer) essentially ejected the primer out of the case making it difficult to spin the cylinder for the next round. Then the cylinder was difficult to release due to the interfering primers.
What the heck's going on?
Did I use the wrong primer?
Is this typical for popping a primer in the absence of the rest of the round?
Are the primers undersized for spec?
Help!
