Bad primer, bad powder, or just too darn cold....

Hahahaha! Thanks Harp!! Your suggesstion was the very first thing that rolled through my head as soon as the delays started. I have a sendero that the firing pin got alittle sticky on. A quick cleaning and we were back in the game. The only thing that is different is that the primer was punched like normal. It didn't look like the firing pin came up short.
 
I have shot 96 gr of RL33 under the 230 hybrids with Fed 215's with 0 degree temp and they all fired fine. Maybe it's the CCI primers and maybe it's a gummed up firing pin or both.

Also had misfires in the past that dented the primer but not hard enough. Cleaned the bolt and problem was solved.
