[QUOTE="edward hogan, post: 1999075, member: 1341"] Have you contacted CCI? Not that they will be much "help", in my experience, but start there... I bought a carton of CCI sm riffle primers for use in .454 Casull handloads. Working with new Starline brass which was Very High Quality back in 2005. Never any previous problem w/CCI primers, but I got a bad lot with these. The customer service guy had me inspect all the ammo, (400+ rds) for high primer seats. A few rounds fired fine... Measured the primer pocket depth and all were seated below the rim. Starline brass is/was very uniform measured on depth mic. The CCI svc guy promised to replace the carton of primers, but never did. Wound up pulling all the bullets etc and depriming the cases. Have never bought CCI primers since. The loading component business is great for the sellers. Defective product either goes up in smoke, or it's the gun or loader's fault. Never had a failure to ignite before this batch of ammo; never had one since. Defective products happen. CCI-guy's failure to fulfill his promise to deliver new carton and pickup defective one soured me on further use of their products. Hope your experience turns out better. [/QUOTE]
