Fiocchi .45ACP Hard Primers?

no problems here with USP45.
try cleaning the channel.

no problems like that ever here.

Funny thing. There's a Fiocchi 45ACP thread over at 1911forums that claims that Fiocchi has soft primers, and that this causes wear on the breechface. Go figure....

Made a range trip yesterday. I fired my usual 200 or so rounds from my Glock 19, and decided to burn the ammo in my Taurus 905 (double action hammer fired revolver) Loaded with Fiochi jacketed hollow points. 4 rounds fired fine. The fifth round was struck 3 times, and had only a barely perceptable dent, but never fired. The other 4 rounds looked perfectly normal. Definitely a hard primer. I will burn all of the Fioichi on my next range trip. I won't buy anymore. I thought I had found a bargain, but once again, you get what you pay for.

If you open the attachment, you will see that the top round had virtually no indentation in spite of being struck 3 times. Photo has some shake, since I took it handheld with no flash, but clear enough to see the indentations.

Someone posted a while ago that primers that don't go boom have shallow indentations from the firing pin because there is no force pressing the round back into the breechface. In other words, it is not possible to diagnose if it was a case of the firing pin not denting the primer enough merely from the shallowness of the mark. Primers that do go off properly would have the same type of mark if you could look at the case head before the powder went off.

In theory.

I have NO IDEA if this is true or not. I just read it on the internets.
