[QUOTE="fisherman987, post: 2381840, member: 107270"] The problem could be a combination of 3 things. Number 1, your headspace is too long. Number 2 your primer seating depth was not fully seated, and Number 3, BR4 primers have a harder cup and require more energy to ignite. All 3 put you on the brink of not firing. What I would recommend is try Federal 205 primers and make sure they are seated fully, and load your fire forming rounds jammed into the lands to help prevent the case from sliding forwards until it ignites. Once you get them all fire formed (that means 2 or 3 firings), set your full length sizer to bump the shoulder back .002 and continue to make sure to seat your primers with 1-2 thousandths crush. You shouldn't have any more problems once they are fire formed. [/QUOTE]
