20% of rounds failing to fire. Is it powder or CCI primers?

Or both. Quite likely both.

 

Gun continues to function properly after 300 rounds. Somewhere in all the fixing, something cured the problem, most likely the gunsmith cleaning the striker channel. +1 on the pencil trick.

 

I checked the height first thing after cleaning the punch. 1.220', dead on Dillon specs.

I used my laboratory ultrasonic cleaner to clean the striker channel, (so I wouldn't have to take the slide apart), which is more powerful than a brass ultrasonic cleaner. And that was BEFORE the trip to the gunsmith. It must've been unbelievably sludgy in there. My little Springfield manual says not one word about cleaning the striker channel.

 

Off to Google "how to clean a striker channel with an ultrasonic cleaner" .  . .

 

First thing to learn about striker channels is to keep oil well away from it.

Wooden Q tip soaked in Hoppes # 9. The firing pin bore spot face will have brass flakes stuck to it.
