[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2798853, member: 5412"] FTF to me is a failure to feed. FTE is failure to eject. I'll hold to the spring problem in this case because all of the issues went away with factory rounds. We may just be talking semantics here with different understandings of acronyms. I'm the same here. Tens of thousands of rounds with no misfires. I will have to say though that as I remove rounds from our range that are still live, with most being put into the live round containers, I do see primers that have been struck pretty hard, and they did not go off. I have a container in the man cave that holds about 20 pounds of live rounds recovered from the range. Most of the ones that misfired are European eastern bloc country ammo, and milsurp type rounds. Its impossible to tell what brand of primer is in the reloads that I've recovered though. That's not to say that there could have been a bad run of primers that the OP experienced. To the OP, if you had a bad run of U.S. made primers, I'd certainly contact the manufacturer. They would want the rounds with the failed primers sent back to them for evaluation. If they find a problem with them, they might send you some new, or give a gift cert to buy some more. [/QUOTE]
