Winchester LP primer problem

[dmize]

Has anyone here had a problem with older WLP ignition?
I mentioned this on Singleactions a while back and it seemed some there had issues as well.
I bought so many primers after the Clinton regime that I cant tell when they were purchased but it was so bad I switched to CCI 300 and 350's

I have 4 Ruger SAs (2 of which use WLP) & have never had any ignition problems.......even those that were extra difficult to seat. However, all 4 of my SAs have the factory main spring. In fact, I'm considering installing a aftermarket spring in each that would be stronger than the factory spring. I'm interested in faster lock time.

My problems were not spring related,all of them are stock and it was in about 9 different guns.

I have only been using Large Primers in the last 6 months since I purchased my 45ACP. I have been using WLP almost exclusively in that time. I posted some pictures earlier in this thread about the discoloration and more difficult seating when I finally got some other brands to compare them to.
I haven't had any failures to fire in that entire time.

I have used them for decades in 44 mag and 45ACP in both auto and tuned revolvers without any problems.

I owe you an apology. My comment about the stock main spring use was not proper & in an unintended way insinuated that your main spring may be the problem. I should be more sensitive about such things because I got that same (probably not intended) response about my primer problem. I forgot to add to my thread that I use a Sinclair primer pocket uniformer on all brass & do swage all military brass. I even swage commercial brass if there is a problem seating the primer. I have 3 pieces of Winchester brass on my bench now that defies primer seating & I've done everything under the sun to prep them for a primer. Go figure.

No need for an apology.
Since I read this thread I do remember having intermittent seating issues in the past also with all different cases.
I also was given a pile of S&B 44 mag brass. I went so far as using my Lyman crimp remover,I ended up throwing all of it in my spent primer bucket
