[QUOTE="devildogandboy, post: 573576, member: 38137"] where do you store your powder and primers? are they in an controlled environment where it is dry and cool all the time? i had one incident in my life back about 33 years ago, (yes i am probably older than most of you) where i reloaded a batch of 357 magnums that didn't fire or were hang-fires. turned out they were stored in the house in the laundry room where the moisture content is always higher! bad primers or bad powder, it corrected itself once i got new components and was relieved to know i had no problems with the firearm at all. this same scenario would apply to handguns as well as long-guns. i have never had this happen to me again since i placed all items in an area where it is DRY AND COOL!! just a thought IMHO that might help someone. (been rolling my own since '72) [/QUOTE]
