I seem to have located some bad primers. In this video you will see me shoot the hog but he takes off. So not knowing if hes fatally wounded or not I try to hit him again. The second shot is a hang fire I squeeze the trigger the hammer hits a pause then fire. Third shot was normal, fourth shot another hang fire, fifth no fire at all. I tested several more shots after this and found no more. Its strange to me that so many in a row were bad. Maybe contaminated some how in the mag.

Two things that can ruin a good day....a hang fire and a slam fire.


This was the first hang fire for me ever it threw me off. Seems quick in the video but seemed much longer between click and boom real time. Earlier in the night another hunter had a squib round shooting PNW subsonics the bullet lodged far enough back that the next round did not chamber he is very lucky because he pulled the trigger. Almost everything that could go wrong went wrong this weekend lol.
