[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 3091597, member: 13284"] Not to ask a very obvious question, but have you checked your strain screw to make sure that it is secure? If it has partially backed out, it may be causing the spotty ignition with the combination of the Winchester primers and the springiness of the moon clips. I'd start with checking the strain screw and then follow up with a thorough cleaning of the internals (including removing, cleaning, and inspecting the firing pin and the firing pin recess in the frame). BTW Federal primers will also be easier to pop than Winchester if you are not opposed to Federal ammo. It will run approximately the same price as WWB if you're looking for inexpensive plinking ammo.
