I'm having trouble with some shells that fail to fire. Been trying to figure it out for a couple of months.
So I've saved all the bad shells. Some Winchester's, some gun clubs.. doesn't matter. I've traced it all back to what I think are the primers. I got them from a third party for a good price. They had some corrosion on them, but I thought it didn't matter. People told me the corrosion didn't matter. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't... All I know is that I had 26 fail to fire out of about 500 over the past couple of months.
26 out of 500 is 95% good, but 5% bad. That's way too damn many!
I also have a couple hundred shells already made with these that I've been cutting open to reclaim my components.
All of these are from the same lot... in the trash they go!
(Its a crazy time to be throwing away primers)
