hello all.
long story short. I have a type 99 Arisaka in 7.7x58mm and the only ammo I have been able to find for it is Grafs. I took it out to shoot for the first time and every round save 1 failed to fire from light strikes. all of the primers are seated very deep so I'm not sure whether I should demill it, reseat the primers and put it back together again or to try a heavier firing pin spring...

am I the only one that's had these issues with grafs brand ammo or is this a common problem?
