glad to see this thread, here is what I think is happening: I have a citori lightening made in 2003, I only shoot trap, so a lot of rounds have gone thru it, I only shoot my reloads of rem game load hulls, win primers, and universal powder, I have only had 1 ftf. I use a mec 650 press and have always worried it was not setting the primers deep enough, maybe that is a good thing because what I think is happening is a combination of crud build up, deep seated primers or hard primers. Now the reason I think I am having good luck is Universal is a very clean powder in my loads, I can shoot 100 rds and the barrel has no residue, plus my shallow primers is keeping the bottom barrel working. I have since switched to the upper barrel, I installed an IM choke and like it a lot better then the mod choke I was using in the bottom barrel. Going to start shooting trap again in January hopefully no ftf`s |
