It’s a 125 grain projectile. H322 is the powder. 23 - 25 grains of powder is what I’m loading into the brass. I have been tilting the rifle upwards when a miss-fire occurs, but I’ve gotten a couple out of around 80 -100 reloads that still won’t set off on the second try. I guess I’ll be doing a bit more research on primer seating...
If the primer is going off on the second try, you're not seating the primer deep enough. Sometimes you can strike a primer twice and get it to go off on the second try. Often times you damage the primer and it won't go off again. You're either not seating the primer deep enough, or you have a light striking firing pin due to a weak spring, dirt, or it's damaged. Your story is evolving in it's description of what's happening. Powder probably has nothing to do with what's happening here. It's all about simply setting off the primer.
