Oakster, I'd pull the bullets on your misfires and see if:
the powder is scorched but didn't fire, I've see it.
I forgot to powder the cartridge, I've done it.
the primer didn't fire, try firing the primer again in the empty case.

Verify the cause first.

My powder is in coolers in the garage, primers in a heated building...

Let us know what you find!

"Camping places fix themselves in your mind as if you had spent long periods of your life in them.
You will remember a curve of your wagon track in the grass of the plain like the features of a friend."
