As some of you know I’m new to reloading. I have been working a lot through trial and error along with help from you guys.
I have struggled quite a bit getting going. This past week I really took my time. Broke it up into several evenings. I measured every cartridge, inspected loads, paid attention to the amount of bell I was putting on, and then the seating. The seating took the most time.
I took just 100 rounds with me today to the range of my reloads. I was shooting a 124 grain bullet. Also took a box of 115 blazer brass with me.
In my 100 reloads I had 5 that failed to fire. You could see where the firing pin hit the primer but didn’t shoot. When I put them in the magazine a second time they fired.
The blazer brass all 50 fired fine.
In the meantime, I was wondering if my recoil spring could be the issue. The factor recoil spring is a 16lb spring, Cajun gun works also sells a 14.5 and a 13lb spring. I had recently put in the 13lb spring. I do have a 14.5 and a 16lb spring for it.
Using a CZ P-10f.
Is it possible that it’s my recoil spring weight and not my reload?
