I Went to my gun club last sunday.
I had my first squib load. Most of you will blame me, and that's fair, but i never had any squib while using american primers like CCI and Winchester. Lyman 50th and 51st manual tells that a squib load can happen when the primer is not strong enough to properly light the powder.
I have used 100 S&B lpp to test some promissing load already tryed wit WLPP and CCI, but this last sunday, on 30 round i fed in my S&W629-6 and my big boy 44 mag, i had 9 hang fire and 1 squib.
The squib was lodge at the start of the riffling in my Big Boy and was engraved, but easy to dislodged.
I know many here love S&B primers and ammo, but for me, it's over. I was lightly shocked.
I just order a brick of 1000 Federal 150, because in Canada, Winchester and CCI primers are rarely available.
