Problem with my primers

GuateShooter · October 17, 2007, 03:23 PM

I reload 0.40 S&W for my glock 22 and use WSP primers, in many rounds I had a clik and no shoot, my brother says its a bad firing pin but my other brother´s new glock 22 have the same problem, if I put this rounds in other pistol like my CZ 75 or SIG they work if I put in the glock again dont work, please help me !!

Squished primers when priming? Lube contamination? Case length too short?

Have you tried firing the bad rounds a second time in your 22?

If they fire on the second attempt in the same pistol, you're probably not seating the primers fully.

If they won't fire from the Glock on the second attempt, but do fire from another gun, then you should look at the case length or possibly a problem with your Glock.

Finally, if you shoot a bunch of these loads from another gun and have misfires, it's a reloading problem. Squished primers, lube contamination, etc.

Most important though...don't give up. This is probably something you can work through with a little effort.

This week I expierenced this for the first time. Shooting my 9mm reloads in my Stoeger Cougar 8000. Hammer comes down, and nothing. Not even the occasional pffft. WSP is dented well by the firing pin, haven't pulled the lead yet but I'm 99% sure there is powder.
So, you do run into dud primers, that do not fire when struck. Is that it?

More than likely, the OP is not seating his primers deeply enough. Less likely is a bad batch of primers. However, if the brothers are squirting oil into the firing pin channels of their Glocks, then that's the problem.

yes, I tried to fired this rounds 2 or 3 times and still misfired then I put in the CZ or SIG in here I had fired

Detail strip the slide and clean all the crud out of the firing pin channel. I blast it out with non-chlorinated brake cleaner.
