Wow. I thought 'stuff' like that only happened to me. Say, you don't suppose we're related any closer than Noah, do you?

I bet we are
I was sure I had done something stupid that was causing the mis-fires.The ammo was loaded 1/2 hour past midnight as a last minute deal before a camping trip.
Now when I am pulling the bullets 1/2 of the GC's are stying in the neck of the case.It just keeps getting better<G> I knock them in and use very long needle nose pliers to pull them out.If anyone has a better way please let me in on a secret.

Well, if the needle nose pliers are getting it done, that's probably the best you're gonna do. I had a similar experience once in a .222, and didn't have the long nosed helper. I ended up swiping one of my mother's hairpins and bending one tip into something between a fishhook and the letter “L". Used carefully, this got the job done, but it WAS a job fer a fact!
Hope you don't get too many that come off inside the case. But look at the bright side: You now have an outstanding opportunity to see if your seating & crimping procedure is damaging the bullet.

How true.
And they passed with flying colors! I used and impact tool to pull the bullets.I wonder if my RCBS collet puller would grab them well enough and do a better job of keeping the GC on the base.I don't usually have good luck with the collet type with cast bullets.They slip right out or damage the thing.

Are your gaschecks the slip on Lyman type?
Crimp on Hornady's.

I once loaded a box of 30-30's . I was putting the powder can BACK in the powder case when I noticed the label. OOPS ,WRONG powder.!! When I pulled those bullets over half lost their checks. The long needle nose pliers are the only way I know to get them out. IF (big IF) you do not want the brass, you CAN squeeze the necks into an oval and shake the checks out! MORAL of the story : Do NOT argue with the wife ,then go reload. Now I just READ about reloading after a marital spat.:D

Just got another input from local source about getting the checks out.Open them up to .32 or .35 and drop them out.Then resize them.I wish i thought of that!!

my gaschecks don't strip off. Is there a problem with your seating?

I think its the impact pullet that is doing it.I pulled a few last night with pliers and lost none at all in the neck.
Beware i will be giving away free primers at my next match in September<G>

Here is a picture of junk from my loading bench. They don't say inert but should say defective, approximately one in ten wild not fire with the most brutal smack. I looked for lot numbers and I don't see any. They are good for their primer feeder strips only.

Whoops Lot #'s c06b02, c13h on the protective backings.

Just so I understand: are you having the same trouble with two different lots of different types of primers?
Attached Files
Yes, I'd forgotten about them until it saw the inert CCI post. I was so mad at one point I drove a 1/8” pin punch though the primer as the 357 mag case sat downward in a vise. The punch knocked the bullet out, I just moved on to Winchesters and I'd put them away. Lots C13H and G20F too! Large pistol and Large Mag. Charlie

I've had so many problems with CCI primers over the last 25+ years that the only ones I'll voluntarily buy nowadays are for the 50 BMG ... and then only because they're the only thing readily available. I have fewer problems with Magtech and Wolf than with CCI. I cringe whenever I buy a batch of reloading stuff that includes CCI primers -- especially the older ones, as they absolutely will not work in my Dillons.
I certainly hope that none of this bleeds over into Lake City's ammo production ... it's bad enough that our troops are saddled with a rifle that won't reliably kill cats; adding defective ammo to the mix is unthinkable.
