Cfe223 and hangfires?

[Skattergun]

Loaded a few rounds with cfe223 in my 6.5x47 with cci450 and had consistent hangfires, just a couple tenths of a second but hangfires nonetheless. Anyone experienced this?
Load was 36+gr
Going to try a fresh pack of primers just to switch something up and try it again.

Had the same in 308 Win Palma SRP brass. Two complete misfires too. No problems and reasonable MV consistency in standard LRP Lapua brass. It seems this powder needs more aggressive ignition once you get to 6.5X47L and larger cartridges than many (all) SR primers can supply.

WOW! What was the temp when you were shooting?

WOW! What was the temp when you were shooting?

In my case 15-deg C (59-deg F).

 

[Rat Rifle]

Wow…CFE 223 must have a very narrow temperature node ??

Have heard it is real touchy on the high end also ?

 

[LVLAaron]

I had hang fires with it in an improved .308... and some blown primers. Never had a problem in a 223 case.

If You don’t mind, what temperature range, low to high, were You operating in ?

 

[LVLAaron]

308 was indoor. 70F climate controlled range.

Just to be clear, so You had hang fires “and“ over pressure at 70F ??

 

[LVLAaron]

Yes

 

[10XSHOOTER]

You will have hang fires with small Rifle Primers and case that holds over 35 gr of powder! the cases may handle high pressures but, If it don't light off What good are they? Any case that holds over 35 grains of powder needs a Large Rifle Primer. Any case over 60 grs needs a Large Rifle Mag Primer!

Any case that holds over 35 grains of powder needs a Large Rifle Primer.

Perhaps you'd like to tell the majority of 308 Win FTR international class competitors this 'fact', likewise the US International Palma team.

And for your next trick, you'll prove the world is flat.
