Primer Failure??

[michiganmuzzy]

With #11 primers FTF have been a bigger problem for me . Fitment on the nipple being the worst offender for FTF . My Super 91 seems to work best with a Remington cap . Back in the day the BK92 Knight seemed to prefer CCI's . Ive actually never found any RWS caps for sale by me !!! I always thought that a bit weird . Love to try them but i may never know how theyd do !!! Ive always Heard they are the Best #11 caps .

Ive never seen the RWS caps around here either.

Do you clean your firing pin, crud gathers in the bushing and can cause FTF by slowing the strike.

For my son's stuck firing pin a little WD 50 freed it up. Of course it was a learning experience for him. I recall that day as we headed out to hunt I asked him if he test fired or scope check it. He replied he didn't need to because it was on the last time when he took the 8 pt test prior season. LMAO!

Sportsmans Warehouse sells RWS musket caps.

The last time I found RWS primers was about four years ago in Northern California at a Sportsmans Warehouse store. They are the best.

I've had a few cold morning hagnfires, but never a FTF with #11 caps. My hangfires almost disappeared when I went to Win Magnum caps. I purchased an Accura .45 last year and had my first FTF on a very cold morning. My friend had several FTFs on her .50 Accura. Be careful using WD-40 on your guns. I cleaned my brass with it once, and had a FTF on a 7mm Mag, and missed an elk. Turns out WD-40 will creep into the primer. The police figured this out long ago, apparently after some bad experiences.

Yep a gun , Any gun , is No Place for wd-40 to be around !!! Seems to create more havoc than good long term . I sonic clean my brass then a quick tumble with corn cob and a little Brasso for shine these days . Works good and much quicker . I also nail polish over my primers and necks MINIMALLY and wipe off excess unneeded . Just figured id offer this up for anybody whom may need the tip .

I've found WD-40 to be a great cleaner and removes moisture but I use Break Free CLP as a lubricant. I've never had a problem using this combo on any gun.
