In my 9mm, I'm using some 25+ year old W231 for one of my best target loads. At 3.6 grains powder under a Berrys 124 grain HBFP, the load is significantly low power, as can be seen from its average velocity of 856 fps. Even this low power load gets down range; therefore, I'm thinking the powder isn't the problem. I'm even using the "tame" Wolf primers, but they have no problem igniting the W231 every time. So your primers shouldn’t be the problem either.

With the following assumptions, my best guess would be insufficient powder (too little or none). What kind of powder measure are you using?
