That's areally high percentage. If you feel there's nothing else amiss than switch lot #s.

I have had similar problems with CCI primers. I havent used them in 10 years because of that. Couldnt tell you how they are today.

I think I'd let CCI know about it...

What kind of gun were you shooting? I had tc encore do that, it was a weak hammer spring.

I"ve shot thousands of the 400 small rifle primer out of my triple deuce without a hiccup. Not one problem with them.

I've also used the CCI BR-2, and 200's for my non mags, like 243, 25-06, 270 with no problems.

Currently use the 250 mag in the 338 EDGE.

Believe I use the 550 small pistol mag for my 357

Bottom line for me is I've not had 1 single problem with CCI primers. I started using them probly about 10 years ago.

How old were the primers?? How were they stored if they were old??

I would call CCI and let them know the lot #. Maybe they would reimburse you in the meantime??

The rifle is a cooper mod 21 in 6mmppc .I will get in contact with cci to see wot they have to say.
In the past though i have shot thousands of their primers without any problems.

The primeres were stored in a dry ccabinet inside my house their is no way any moisture could get to them.

Maybe though it was my bad and i got some oil on them during the relodnig process.

I assume they are reloads. Perhaps they are not seated all the way in the pocket.

I've never had any fail yet

Hopefully in 14 years he figured it out.

I've used cci for 39 years and not 1 single failure with 200, 250 and 350's. I just started with 300, 400, 450 and 500's about 8 years ago and all have fired. This year I've bought br2, #34 and #41's for the 1st time.

I really like the 41's and 34's

Information can be helpful, no matter how old it is. This is an old thread. I didn't notice it before I responded.
