    Primer failure rate.

    I've been primarily reloading with Fiocchi lr 6 i seem to regularly have dud primers. Sometimes, firing it twice will make it work, but often not. I think it would be about 4% failure rate, maybe more.

    Two questions,
    Is there something I'm doing that's causing this? Primer seating dept? Ect...

    Are other brands more reliable?

    Cheers
