Thread: Misfires

@ Sasquatch , watched the video. It was well worth a watch, very interesting .
I have had in nearly 40 yrs of shooting rimfire 10 - 20 misfires in .22 LR ......next to nothing but like 22 Plinkster i have only ever really used two brands , CCi and Winchester just because that has always been available.
Both brands have been excellent in terms of performance and reliability.

However the 17 HMR has been a very different story with the CCI been very poor in terms of misfires, it's interesting like Plinkster says about the primer compound not being evenly pushed down in the factory which would explain the rotating
of the round and it working. So that to me say's it's a quality control issue from the factory.
Both Federal and Hornady have been very good and the problem is quite rare.

The weird / funny thing is that the rumor is all 17HMR comes out of the same factory. I am not sure if this is the truth or simply an urban legend.
Maybe it is out of the same factory but different production line ?
