[QUOTE="dartem, post: 2296878, member: 109202"] You say hangfires... are they all going off after a few seconds? That's a hangfire for sure. What do the spent primers look like? Do they look like they had a normal strike from the firing pin? Could it be that the primers were not seated all the way, and the firing pin drove them in the rest of the way? Speaking just for myself and to answer your question about problems with CCI 250's... I personally have never had any CCI primer fail to go off. Nothing is perfect though and anything is possible, that's for sure. If I were to have a hangfire, I think I would first suspect the powder (moisture, maybe?) then the seating of the primer and then the primer itself. In that order. I know of instances where cases were wet tumbled and not completely dry when they were reloaded. Result? Hangfires... BTW CCI cups ARE harder than Federals...😦 Best of luck, Mike [/QUOTE]
