[QUOTE="justgoto, post: 339927, member: 17125"] I don't know where the thread is that I first heard this but a light charge with slow burning powder can cause it. [URL="http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f28/30-06-h414-209gr-max-49418/"]Here is a thread I started a few weeks ago on my hang fire problem with H414.[/URL] To summarize... I was load testing and encountered a few hang fires; not until I added 2 or so grains more powder did the hang-fires subside. H414 is the only powder I have encountered a hang-fire with. It was cold out so the comment about the cold could have been a contributor. [/QUOTE]
