Just got off the phone with my bud concerning the dud round.
I had loaded Winchester and R-P cases with Fed 210 primers. The issue was with an R-P case. He thinks the primer was set too low.
He took the rifle and killed a coon, says there is no problem with the firing pin indenting the primer.
I told him to sort out the cases, use the Winchester ones and check to see if the primers are near flush with the case, not set too deep.
I did send an email to Blaser, US, asking about light primer strikes. Evidently that's not the issue with this Mauser 18..
Told my bud he needs a better reloader....
I guess something can slip thru quality control every now and then. Just hate that it was the shot on an 8 point that went click.
Even after all that, the lady still thinks I'm great, has faith in me....
