[QUOTE="Doninidaho, post: 1606224, member: 56884"] I like to tumble my brass with the spent primers in place. Then, I decamp, I’m pushing out any media that might be in the hole. Then I “scrub” the pocket and inspect, a puff of canned air is always used to blow away any sort of dust, every single case. In about 40 years of shooting reloads (thousands of rounds, several calibers, rifles, handguns, shotguns) I’ve had one failure to fire. I do as many have mentioned, everything is in a dedicated room with a dehumidifier. Careful inspection determined nothing out of the ordinary, spilled the powder charge out on notebook paper and nothing but powder, lit it with a match and it burned nicely but I know that’s not real scientific. Decapped the primer, didn’t look different than several “new” ones except for a nice firing pin strike dead center (custom action built concentric to the center line). So...who knows? But I figure people make mistakes and equipment breaks. [/QUOTE]
