Hi Everyone,

I need some help with this one. I have had this happen in my first batch of 100 rounds that I reloaded. The primer gets Dented but it does not fire. This was happing 1 in 10 or so. The second time I try to drop the hammer the round fires. The previous 250 rounds of factory ammo fired just fine

Here are the specs...

40 S&W
W231 4.0 gr
180 Grain Rainier Copper Plated FP
CCI 500 small pistol Primers

Gun = HK USP full size that has fired over 3000 flawless times.

Amm I doing something wrong? Is there a more sensitive primer?

Thanks

Eric
