Sounds like you had a couple primers not completely seated- first strike from the firing pin seated them the rest of the way so they fired on the second strike

I'll also add at least in my experience, when the slide is hard to pull back, it tells me the rounds were loaded too long, and the bullet is sticking in the rifling.

On my Dillon I am going to start putting every round into a 100 round ammo box before I dump them into the ammo can. I am seriously sick of finding high primers when I am shooting. |

I have *never* had a high primer on my Dillon, or when hand priming. I always swipe check every single round.... but not sure how you are getting high primers? |

Dirty or tight primer pockets Slightly larger primers more difficult to seat completely |

I have never had one on a hand or bench mounted primer, but I still check. |

I have never had one on a hand or bench mounted primer, but I still check. Ahh. That makes sense. If I "feel" something really tight when priming, I generally pull that immediately and inspect it. I guess I have had them, just never had them get all the way to a loaded round. |

Nobody else has acknowledged the hard to pull back slide. Primers don't have anything to do with that IMO.
Also another guy here that has never had a high primer make it out in the field. I do get some upset primers but they're easily catchable on a Dillon or single stage priming system. I also inspect all my primers by putting them in ammo cases primer up. |

I stopped having the issue when I picked up a RCBS primer pocket uniformer.

So maybe the primers where not seated properly. But there's also the fact that it was hard to rack the slide to get them out of the gun. What would 2 rounds be out of spec if 98 where good? What would cause that?
Thanks. I'm fairly new to reloading I've loaded around 2k 9mm rds so far and these 2 bad rounds where from the first batch of 200 I loaded. 124 berrys 9mm Winchester primers power pistol powder 5.0 fps 1075 avg. 1.145 coal. |

Mixed brass and sizing die not adjusted correctly to take that into consideration. |

I treat all non-ferrous S&B brass as though it were crimped, I ream out the primer pocket. |

Make sure you have properly crimped al the rounds.... if 1-2 didn't get fully / properly crimped... your slide could do what you describe.

In recent months, increased my use of 9mm range pick up brass. Case on the left loaded in Glock 19 - click when trigger pulled, no fire and no primer indent. After pulling bullet discovered case is long. First malfunction in Glock of this nature in a very long time. From what I have read, a Glock is very capable of an out of battery fire. Don't recall ever encountering a 9mm case that long. Due to nature of brass, increased quality assurance checks at several points, to include plunk test in barrel for every round. In so doing caught the round on the right, bad brass. As stated, the problem for OP is more than just primers. Need to check brass length, use case gage or barrel plunk test, check on bullet seating process, and OAL of loaded rounds. |

How many of the 98 "good" rounds did you manually eject unfired? Your oal may be slightly to long on all of them, just not enough to prevent them from firing. |
