First One............

[drop_point]

I had a misfire with a CCI 450 yesterday. Good dimple, no powder ignition. I haven't pulled it apart yet, but there was a little soot around the primer. I don't use any kind of corn cob or walnut media.

Not any more, that LOT or Brick of 1000 of CCI is in the corner edge of my desk. I bought them about 2 years ago from PV. Only got to use the first tray during load development for my 6.5x47. It was total frustration, would start with excellent group, and then that darn misfire. Out of 100, I had about 10-12 misfires. And this is on a custom build rifle, firing pin was even replaced, due to me thinking that was the problem. Changed to a new lot, no more issues.

Oh god. I bought mine 2 years ago. I need to check the lot numbers just in case
