[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 2777991, member: 9308"] I've had it happen when I used a 'regular' small pistol primer to try and ignite some H110 in a .357 Magnum case. Primer went off, drove bullet into rifling, but failed to ignite powder. (Using a magnum primer got everything working properly. Lesson learned - H110/W296 require a small pistol MAGNUM primer in .357 Mag loads.) I have not experienced it in a rifle load. 1) Just a weak, unlucky primer? 2) Water still in case from cleaning method (nod to [USER=38154]@Laelkhunter[/USER] )? 3) as [USER=11011]@jimbires[/USER] pointed out...something plugging flash hole in brass? 4) contamination of primer from handling with oily, greasy hands? (Longshot, but tossing it out there) 5) Not enough neck tension allowing bullet to move too easily & powder to not have enough pressure & temperature to ignite? What powder are you using? What primer? Are you crimping (a la Lee FCD)? [/QUOTE]
