I am need assistance. I am reloading 9mm, 124 grain, tite group 4.2 grains, COL of 1.120. The issue I am having is many miss fires. This past weekend at the range I had over 15 mis fires... the most ever.
What are causes of this?
Any other suggestions?
I don't want to make another poor batch and waste powder, primers, bullets etc... But it seems out of a batch of 500, 15 misfires is way too high. As you can see form the picture the striker is hitting the primer, but no fire is happening.
What are causes of this?
- Poor quality primers -- I am using CCI & Winchester
- Bad Brass -- These are not new brass. And they have been tumbled dry. I am not certain of how many times they've been reloaded. I bought them as "once fired".
- Powder -- Am i not using enough powder? I had a bad experience with a double charge once on titegroup.
Any other suggestions?
