Any of you guys with a Triumph or Endeavor have any problems with not being able to close the gun with some primers?

I recently bought an Endeavor and every third or fourth primer I would try to use, I couldn't fully close the rifle. Makes me think that the tolerances are too close but, I was curious if anyone else has run into this problem?

I'm using Federal 209A primers in my Endeavor and have not experienced this problem with this combination.

My Pro-Hunter would act up a little with 777 primers... I belive they are a touch bigger than the rest. I had no problems with CCI's in my PH or now my Triumph.

No problem with CCI or Win 209 all kinds of problem with 777 primers. Lee

I have a buddy that has the Endevor,I will check with him.

 

[g.g.]

possibly nothing to do with the triumph issue, but last year I torqued down too much on my encore's forearm after a cleaning and the next morning I was not able to open it. finally BROKE it open in the blind....dropped in the primer and tried to reopen and still a no go...left it closed until I got back to the cabin. then on the off chance I tried loosening the forearm and yep that was it, although I was not tightening much and saw nothing noticeable out of the ordinary.

actually had greg ritz and a couple others from TC R&D in camp with us (were at game trails) and none had every heard of it.

PH...forearm snug only for me.

This is a response to your question frm my friend

yes I have the same issue. 1 out of maybe every 5 primers doesnt load exactly right. I have to almost force it shut. I thought maybe it was my primer but now that he's having the same issues it might be something to look into. The ones at the time I used there the W209's which had more issues than the T7 ones. But both had issues with closing the gun when the primer was put in. I had a loose screw that connected the stock to the reciever. It seemed that once I tightened that up most of the issues went away, but it will still do it from time to time. Let me know what he finds out but I would contact TC to see. This was my first TC so i thought it might be normal so its all new to me.

I had the same problem when I first bought my triumph and was using the "muzzleloader designed" primers. Once I got straight shotgun 209 primers (as blackhorn recommends anyway), I have had no problems. In comparison, the shotgun primers were shorter.
