Was it a slamfire?

Took some reloads to the range near sunset yesterday... 30-06 loads in my "new" M1.

I only got to fire two clips before it got dark, and on the second one I was counting shots and on the 4th or 5th one I thought that the rifle "double tapped" on me... very, very quick, wasn't sure what I saw (thought I saw a double muzzle-flash) and only counted to 7 before the clip ejected.

I was reading about the slamfire-in-M1 thread recently, and wondered if my Winchester primers are the likely cause of what happened.

If so, I'll scrape up the money to get CCI before I reload anything else, and use the WLR for my .30-30.

If not, I'll suspect my new babe needs to be checked by the doc.
