[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 441451, member: 9281"] Well, I think I may have discovered what caused my two "drop out" shots. I remembered that I carried the same three shells in my rifle during the deer season out here. One of those evening hunts was very wet. Because of the way I position my shells in the ammo box, I know that the same shell I used when shooting at my target elk was one that had gotten very wet. My theory is that water managed to get around the primer and either cause a problem with the primer itself or dampen the powder. This so far seems to make sense, any of you guys experienced this with damp powder? [/QUOTE]
