EPH25 has completely solved the hangfire problem. Probably a dozen or more .38SPL rounds required a second, third, fourth or further strikes to ignite, but I suspect this is a fault of the revolver which has lighter springs for competition. I used to run Federal primers exclusively to ensure ignition. I had some problems with some factory .357 as well, so that makes me think it’s a gun problem, not a primer problem. Zero issues with any of the Glock fired rounds.
None of the rounds were hangfires, so that issue seems closed. All my future primers will be EPH25.
