In October I was out for a last boat ride before the river freezes over. I had my Win.P17 loaded with 220gr Federals, 30-06, and had a miss-fire/FTF. It was kind of cool out, high 20's, a little too cool for the gun oil, and maybe a little too much oil, I was using. The primer had a nice fireing pin strike but just not enough because of the viscus oil. Just a thought.
