[QUOTE="Cash Is King, post: 1605574, member: 80077"] Long story short... I had a similar *** moment years ago... thought it was the same thing... Primers were hit well, but failed. Two in a row. Deer hunting. .300 WM Sendero. Thinking MAYBE the firing pin spring might be bad or gunked up (got the gun used). I disassembled the bolt and checked everything. Looked fine... reassembled. Then, just for giggles I did it twice more... on the third reassembly I heard (never saw) my problem... a tiny grit of sand was between the firing head and the bolt plug (heard a gritty sound). This was slowing down the firing pin JUST ENOUGH to fail ignition. I know... very weird, but just figured I would share. Weapon has never failed since. [/QUOTE]
