This is a new one for me, although still being mostly a beginner with guns, most things that happen to me are new.
Today I had 4 times that the firing pin struck the edge of the case but then nothing happened. I extracted the cartridge and I could see the dent (although I think it looked less dented than it normally does), but it didn't ignite the primer.
These 4 times started happening after I had put over 100 through without any problem. The 4 nonfires all happened in the last 20 rounds that I went through. I've never had a problem before like this on any other trip (had occasional jam before but never with this ammo). I was using this same ammo today with the Mark III without problem. The ammo I am using is Federal high velocity.
Any ideas? Is something wrong with my gun, or is it possible to get a bad batch of ammo like this?
