[QUOTE="shootinfool, post: 457782, member: 9140"] I have only had this sort of thing happen to me one time in the past. It was one round and it was more like a delayed fire. I pulled the trigger and heard the firing pin hit...nothing for a few seconds. I actually thought that i had not picked up the bullet from the mag at first. A few seconds later....BOOM! I can only guess that this was my fault in not paying attention enough during the cleaning of the primer pockets and flash hole and left a piece of corn cob in their from tumbeling. Needless to say, I check and double check and then tripple check before I do anything else now. Dont know if this is your problem but it is an Idea. Pull the bullets and see what is going on. dump the powder and see what it looks like and then pop the primer and see what it looks like. [/QUOTE]
