[QUOTE="HOT TUNA, post: 1605638, member: 95931"] Not sure if it’s been mentioned yet. I just skimmed through the thread. If your firing pin/bolt internals are all gummed up or dirty/or part failure in the trigger assembly and bolt assembly the pin could be riding forward too slow and not striking the primer with enough force to detonate it. I’ve seen a few instances on rifles where a primer is indented but didn’t go off due not being struck hard enough. Another issue is short striking again the primer can be indented but not go off due to not enough firing pin protrusion. Something to check the box on before you condemn the primers. [/QUOTE]
