Around 20% of my rounds failed to fire. I took my gun to the gun shop and they said it worked fine, and it had to be the ammo. Now I'm not sure if it's the powder or the primers. I am loading 3.9 grains Titegroup over 115 grain Eggleston Munitions .356 coated lead 9mm. The TiteGroup I am using is coming out of an eight-pound container. I've had it around 3 years and there's only about 1 pound left. I have kept in a cool and dry closet, but I live in south Louisiana so I am wondering if humidity could be the issue. The primers were CCI 500 Small Pistol Primers. The ones that didn't fire don't look right. There is a tiny dent where the striker hit them. Normally when I get a mis-fire I shoot it again and that works. Not this time. The best answer I can come up with is it's the primers but I don't really know. One thing is different about this batch of primers. I bought them off the shelf at Bass Pro instead of getting them (presumably) fresh from the factory. Have any of you ever seen anything like this? -
Like the title says, Midway has CCI small pistol primers. Hope this can help someone!

We produced our first run of 9mm ammunition this afternoon using a Dillion RL550B press. We made 35 test bullets using 124 gr. Montana Gold bullets, Titegroup powder, CCI primers and nickel plated brass from Precision Delta. We took them to the range and fed them through my Taurus PT809 and a CZ 75 B. All fired off without a hitch. We're pretty pumped and feel we're ready to get going on a full production run. Thanks to all on this forum for all the words of reloading wisdom, you guys are the best.
