[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 3080609, member: 122164"] Weak firing pins can cause ignition issues as many have stated, which is over looked, change them out yourself on Remingtons. When reloading at the rifle range, I work up the most accurate powder charge/bullet seating depth with my best guess on a primer, then I start trying different primers. I will not back off powder charge and start over, that is too much OCD for me. I am looking for the smallest hole group, not if all the bullets are in the same hole. There are radical differences in the ignition characteristics of Winchester, CCI, Federal, and Remington primers, not only in flame intensity/size, but in the quantity of priming particles(if any) that are blasted through the powder column. I am amazed how it is impossible to "pick" the best primer for a particular load, we are down to trial and error, make no mistake about it. [/QUOTE]
