[QUOTE="bassin93, post: 441455, member: 15314"] Tumbleweed, not true on the idea that primers either fire or do not. The primer must be struck with the same amount of force each time or it will not ignite the same. I know this from shooting Black powder cartridge rifle sihloette matches. I was in the middle of a match and my shots started to go everywhere except where I was aiming. Mike Venturino who you may or may not know, he is a noted gun writer, came over to me and told me to check my firing pin in my sharps, he said it is probably broken which is evident by the erractic pattern I was shooting and explained as to why. The broken pin would not strike the primer with the same force each time and would therefore ignite differently. I replaced the pin and accuracy returned. My .02 worth [/QUOTE]
