[QUOTE="Fr Mulcahy, post: 4040998, member: 42567"] I share your pain. About 15 years ago, we bought a couple of cases of 22lr Remington from the CMP. About 15% were duds. I ended up using them for flinch practice--1 out of 6 would not fire, but I didn't know which ones were duds. So each dud was a surprise. A few weeks ago, I saw a Winchester 1906 pump 22 rifle at a local pawn shop. I bought it, and I took it to the range last week. The CCI green tag and standard velocity rounds fired well. I brought some of the Remington for flinch practice. Sure enough, every round of the Remington fired. I think that the firing pin on the 1906 was large enough to ignite the primer on the rim every time. Sometimes time turns what looked to be a mistake into a good deal. I hope that it turns out that way for you. [/QUOTE]
