Thread: F**ck'n CCI Primers !

Anyway, checked the case and there was a solid indent in the primer. The cases are a firm fit - fire-formed 2506 AI

Thankfully, when it happened to me it was only ever on the range, never while hunting. It's said that "click" is the loudest sound in hunting
If it ever happens to me I hope I have the presence of mind to immediately crank in another round before the deer bolts ...

Would be interesting to know why your primer failed.
