[QUOTE="Wraith Hunter, post: 1605563, member: 107141"] Primers do not tend to go "bad" unless they are exposed to lubricants or excessive moisture. Because you had Hang fires, is it possible the primers were not fully seated in the cartridge? When primers are not seated deep enough in the pocket the energy of the firing pin can be used to move the primer and not deform it enough to cause ignition. I have seen instances where loaded primers were useless after reloading when shooters used a lot of WD-40 etc to clean/lube loaded cartridges. [/QUOTE]
