CCI #200 primers

It seems these primers aren't as powerful as some would make you believe. Case in point is my .243 with 100 grain soft points. Four out of my latest batch of 50 reloads didn't send the bullet or even make it move in the neck. This is normally where I, or any other reloader, would mention the powder type and charge. I simply can't do that. These four had no powder. Yep, I got stupid and missed charging 4 cases. Talk about an uneasy situation at the range. It's even more fun when you're shooting a Remington 700. Just for trumping sake, it was 4 mixed in with the other 46.

We all try to limit our mistakes as much as possible but we're all human. Something as innocent as a grandbaby sticking their head in your reloading room can break your rhythm/concentration. Glad it went pop rather than kaboom, that would ruin your day for sure.
