[QUOTE="Doublezranch, post: 918027, member: 32664"] I'm breaking in the barrel on my new custom 300 RUM. I headed out to the range yesterday afternoon. The ambient temp was 0 but the wind chill was -30. The wind started blowing 5-10 mph 3 to 9 o'clock across the bench. The first 5 shots went off like they were supposed too. The 6 and 7 shots were delayed and the 10 tenth shot didn't ignite at all. I looked at the shell and saw that the primer was punched as normal. I went home and took apart the shell and noticed that the primer ignited, but didn't fire the powder. So, I ask you ladies and gents... What is your thought here? Is it possible that the brass which was warm in the truck, could have produced condensation when it sat out in the cold that inhibited the powder from igniting? Bad primer? Here's the rifle...
