How often does this actually result in a misfire and how often does it just give variable ignition ?

I have come across this a few times now each time it has been CCI 250 primers,

Once I figured out the issue & replaced the primer with a Fed 215 the problem disappeared.

I'm yet to have a failure to fire with a Fed primer

I have had a few rounds fail to go, but that wasn't the primers fault, it was the lack off powder in the case leaving the base of the bullet sooty
