Always check: My recent experience has me thinking it's more of a reloading problem here than strictly a primer problem. That had to do with a "double action only" small auto. Runs great if everything is right. High primers can shut the little gun down. I was shooting a Smith 19-5. Several high primers slowed the shooting down. It's necessary to look to see what happened. A ring in the barrel makes a bad day. By reputation Federal's primers are the softest.

One trick I was shown back in the day had to do with high primers. High primers can be confused with light strikes. I was shown how to run my index across the head the loaded round. It was surprising to to find how well that worked.
