[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1434307, member: 10178"] The cups are harder on CCI 250 that Federal primers I am sure. Another thing to take into thought is the strength of the firing pin spring. I know from experience and that of a friend that has been a gun smith for 40+ years that especially in the older Ruger 77 rifles that the firing pin springs do loose power over time and will start having misfire problems. The only other time I have and misfire problems was with Wolf Russian primers and this was do to me not knowing that I needed to put a lot more pressure on my Lee hand priming tool to seat them deep enough to have the slightly higher anvil in them push back and compress the priming pellet so they would fire. Once I learned this I have had no problems. Then there is the possibility that it could be production related the way that the factories' are running full bore. I am a pistol instructor and there for a while some of the 22lr ammo coming out was junk. Misfires and hangfires and even one box of Remington had some bullets that would break apart into two or three pieces when fired. Fire on shot from 3 yards and there were two or three holes in the target. Strange. [/QUOTE]
