[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1998261, member: 38048"] I believe the op has it figured out. The key here was that they always fired on the second strike. This indicates that primers were not fully seated. It took the first firing pin strike to seat the primer the rest of the way and then they were good for the second strike. Bad primers or slow firing pin would not reliably fire on second strike. I clean my springs in zippo lighter fluid. Let them dry and a small film of lube will stay behind. Not enough to freeze up. Use the same zippo fluid to clean triggers. Never had a problem using it for the last 30 yrs on all my rifles. The K and M seater that cost around 60 bucks is a very good primer tool with lots of feel and has adjustable depth. It's all real steel and will last forever. Best bang for the buck in my opinion. Shep [/QUOTE]
