A fellow LAS shooter with a Marlin 336A .30-30. and Winchester 92 .32-20, has recently experienced a run of misfires with Federal primers, Large Rifle AND Small Rifle, in the new packaging.
We expect misfires in lever actions with CCI, but until now shifting to Federal primers has always been "the fix".
Is anyone else experiencing misfires with Federal primers in the new packaging?
I have in the past used CCILPM primers in a M64 Winchester .32 Special with a weak strike, with excellent results. Pistol primers I expect would be fine in the .32-20, but I am reluctant to lead others down that path in the bigger rifles.
