You may also want to check how the primer is properly seated if you are using handloads. An improperly-seated primer can give you a false analysis of a light primer strike. You will encounter a misfire, and when you try to ignite the primer the second time around, it will usually ignite since the primer has moved (and most likely seated) in the primer pocket.
You also might want to check the mainspring cap or the mainspring tunnel. Check for binding/drag. The heavier weight mainspring may have masked the issue of mainspring cap drag on the tunnel.
