[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1280581, member: 10755"] Your statement is untrue. A hangfire is caused by not enough initial start pressure to compress the powder ahead of the primer burst, this delays the powder ignition because the flame front is able to work itself through the powder. It is generally caused by too light of a powder charge in large cases, it is not caused by contaminated powder, sluggish firing pin fall and gunk in the rifle. Extreme cold weather can cause it, as the cold stops the powder igniting. I have deliberately loaded rounds in 300WM with H4350 and a 10% reduction from minimum with 150gr Ballistic Tips and fired them with the pressure trace installed, the start pressure was so low that the delay was almost a full second. lightbulb [/QUOTE]
