Light Primer Strikes
Quote from Reloader on February 7, 2011, 6:04 pmI recently picked up a Super 1050 in 45ACP. I am loading Ball 230gr FMJ and 200 gr LSWC. In both my Ball gun and Wad gun, I am getting light primer strikes with the ammo I am producing from the Dillon. Prior to the 1050 I loaded on a Hornady AP Lock N Load and I never had this problem.
The quality of the Dillon ammo is excellent. I just don't understand why 1 in 15 rounds is a light primer strike with 2 different 1911's. Unfortunately, it has to be something with the ammo. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
