Open1215 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) Hello. New to the form and I have gotten a ton of info to absorb here but I have to ask a question because this really has me stumped. I was at the range a few days ago shooting my glock 22 with a 9mm barrel carver 3 port comp and an 11 ld spring. TIN coated firing pin (pyramid trigger) Any way. Same trip 2 boxes of off the shelf ammo. And this is how my primers look for some of the rounds. They look flattened to me? I'm new to compensators but my brass looked burnt as well. I was shooting federal 115 fmj target loads. Any help would be awesome. Thank you all. Side note I hope this is in the right spot...

peterthefish Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 You need to zoom way in on that pic. That said, they look OKish from what I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 The one on the left seems to be ok, one on the right is a little too hazy to tell much about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open1215 Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) Ya it's a bad pic. I can't post with the normal camera. I have to use the front facing cam on my I pad n that's not really working. Ok 2nd pic back up top. Primer on right in the 2nd pic looks flat to me?

Steve RA Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) Still can't see it very well, if it has rounded shoulders it is ok. From what I can tell it may not be the same brand/model of primer as the one on the left. Edited August 2, 2014 by Steve RA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open1215 Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 I didn't catch that. They are both federal but the flattened one says . F c . 9mm . Luger the 2nd says . F c . 9mm Luger. Perhaps I'm just paranoid. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Josh, Federal primers are a little softer than other brand name primers. Even though they say "target loads" they may be a little hotter than most IPSC loads? That could be the problem? Try some other brand ammo or reloads with different primers and see what they look like. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open1215 Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 Good to hear. ill do what i can to stay away from fed. i do reload but the range i have a membership to doesn't allow them so I'm sorta at a loss for now. there is an outdoor range less then 20 min away but they have really strange days open so its very hit or miss. hopefully i can get ahold of a chronograph asap and get some solid loads together. I was sizing and de-priming and noticed a big difference. I didn't know if my barrel was overly dirty or had somehow messed up my comp. i keep my glock n 1911 equally clean. they both get field striped, cleaned, and oiled lightly after each range trip.
