I recently bought a new box of 1000 Winchester large pistol primers. I just got back from shooting 100 rounds through my XD45 today, all of them using said primers. I had 2 primer failures today. A few days ago I shot 100 rounds and had 2 failures. I've never had any problems in the past with any type of primer (mainly using CCI and Winchester). I've never had a light striking problem or anything like that. The strikes on the primers look almost perfect (centered and deep, clean strikes). I can't tell the difference visually between the ones that fired and the ones that didn't. I could chalk these up to light strikes but it just doesn't appear that way. From the looks of them, they definitely should have detonated. The primers were stored correctly and never handled by hand. I didn't notice any of them being seated improperly. After the first failure, I double checked the seating on all remaining rounds...and still had another failure.
Is it just me or is anyone else having an issue like this? I also shot pretty poorly today. I wish I could chalk that up to a primer issue too! :banghead:
