[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 2798638, member: 796"] Reloads that have the primer left slightly high will misfire from the cushioning effect of the primer being driven it. Did you retry all the misfires? The primers don't know how much powder is in the case, and should fire regardless of powder charge. That sounds like a bad or damaged primer. Overpressure on a primer past touching bottom can damage the primer. Have to watch 9mm cases because some have a primer crimp that needs to be removed. Touchy little buggers. And sometimes you get a bad one or three. [/QUOTE]
