Not as big a felt difference as it is between the Sig and S&B , but I'm confident it wasn't my imagination that it was a little more stout than the Sig. Mine is the same lot number as yours as well.

Gotta figure out the primer issue.

Intercooler · November 23 2017 04:16:02 PM MST

I keep my pistols stock. Never any issues with primers.

With a heavier than stock hammer spring mine hits harder than stock and definitely should not have that issue. It could be a combination of hard primers and seating depth. I will be shooting more tommorw with some of my other Tanfo's. Before today the only time I have ever had a light strike with anything was a $200 Taurus revolver.

This was the shocker of today's shooting. Really stout and probably a little tough on the hands if doing a long session. Almost a tie between these and Buffalo Bore for strongest 180's ever recorded.

I ran the Sig Sauer 180's with them.

Wow. Any signs of overpressure?

Intercooler · November 27 2017 03:28:17 PM MST

I will have to look at the brass and see if anything is there. My pistols also gave primer hits that didn't set them off. I'm sharing what I have with Fenix about everything.

I was told they use Long Shot for the powder. Probably a decent amount!

Sounds like it! ${$default_cool_smiley}$

Fenix took the lot number and said they would look into the primer issue. They are changing to Federal primers though now that they are more readily available.

Intercooler · November 28 2017 06:16:55 AM MST

Primers that didn't pop

It looks like the hits were pretty okay

Underwood Ammo/Fenix Ammo/Sig Sauer fired 10mm brass. Underwood Ammo .430", Fenix Ammo .430" and Sig Sauer .428"

Those from Fenix Ammo didn't go bang? That's not cool! Have you cleaned the firing pin channel lately?
I have to wonder if those casing are short and moved forward with the primer strike...

Intercooler · November 28 2017 11:00:38 AM MST

Putting them in the mail to you tomorrow with the other rounds for pull-down. Hopefully it turns up something!

The_Shadow · November 28 2017 01:44:53 PM MST

I'll be on the look out to see what's what! ${$default_cool_smiley}$
