Just got back from the range.
My local supplier was out of Federal 150s, so I ended up with Winchester WLP's.
I also changed powder, so I started over with a minimum load, and loaded fifteen rounds of two minimum loads, and headed to the range with thirty rounds.
Out of thirty rounds, four of them didn't fire.
That is, the hammer fell, but the primer didn't fire- upon reloading and firing again, they all fired.
Is this common to Winchester primers?
Other details: a completely stock SA milspec, Bullseye powder and Berry's 200 SWC. Although I don't think any of that should make a difference.
I'm very disappointed, and I have two thousand of these!
