Squib Problems

[Dazhi]

I set off primer only in the gun and they were not loud at all. 

I used hammer and nail on the defect primers after pulling the bullets out and dumping the powder,  because I did not expect they will do anything.  This is after I have tried them on factory glocks and mp9s.  No gun were able to pop them.  So I used hammer and nail.  I guess if they indeed go off they may be loud but none of them did.

 

I think the primer QC is an issue for a lot of brands.  I know S&B have dimension issues because when I loaded SB exclusively with Pal Filler (an CNCed Italian made vibra prime), a lot of them would not go through the hole - they are made too big.  WSP used to be very consistent and no problem, but for the past year I am getting bad batches with these dead primers.  Remington is worse than WSP in terms of QC - in both dimension consistency and misfire rate.  The only one I can trust right now is Federal/CCI.  CCI in particular is hard enough to be safely loaded on 650 per Dillon, and 100% reliable in my guns.
