Good Morning,
I had two failure to fires yesterday where firing pin did not strike the center of the of the primer - in both cases the strike was on the perimeter of the primer. The bullet would then not eject without applying serious force to get it out. The load is as follows from a Glock 19. 124grain Berry's Plated Bullets 4.3 grains AA#2 CCI Small Pistol Primers I've loaded/shot several thousand of these and haven't had this issue. Is it possible that they didn't chamber properly? Thanks |

If you don't want to remove the barrel and do the plunk test. <a href="http://s250.photobucket.com/user/dryflash3/media/Case%20Gauge/P9180437.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg272/dryflash3/Case%20Gauge/P9180437.jpg</a> You might want to consider a case gauge. It sits on your bench and never has to be taken apart to use. Dillon gauge shown, they are about $25. thanks - just ordered one |

You can get a good rhythm going.

Are you by chance using the flat point 124 grain Berry's? I used about a thousand of them before and I had to seat them pretty darn deep to keep the bullet away from the rifling in the barrel, so they'd pass the "plunk test". These were the round nose |

Quoted:
Run your caliper down the case body to find out if is swelled just behind the case mouth from over crimping. If the die hasn't been changed, an over crimped condition can occur anyway if cases longer than those used to set up the die are loaded. Thanks but it ws a very light crimp and only two (so far) out of several thousand. I will look at this though, I did cram them into a too full ammo can. Maybe I messed a couple up then?? Not sure. |

I gauge every pistol round I load. No surprises at the range for me with a cartridge that won't chamber. Takes me about 10 minutes to gauge 500 rounds. You can get a good rhythm going. Quoted:

You can get a good rhythm going. And how often do you find a problem? Unless something moves out of adjustment I don't see why there would be an sporadic problem. I have a block that gauges 9, 40 45 and 38, paid about $25.00 for that one. |

It's worth it to me to gauge every round. If you don't want to, fine with me. |
