    Only missfires ive had have been due to dud primers
    I had a batch of winchesters a few years ago that one in every 10 didn’t go off
    The final straw was a primer bloweing out the side and damaging the bolt face
    Apparently this is Caused by Corrosion in the brass primer cups
    Since switched to cci and no issues at all since
