Put 100 rounds through my new Hellcat this morning. Around the 70th shot, I had a failure to fire. I waited a min then ejected the round, which unfortunately fell across the line at the indoor range so I couldn't recover it.
This happened on the first round after releasing the slide. Rest of the mag shot fine. Next 30 rounds shot fine.
Ammo was winchester white box 115g probably 5-7 years old.
Could be ammo. Could have been a light primer strike...idk. But I don't like issues. I am hoping its ammo related and plan to take it back to the range to get another 100 shots in soon. Not sure if I should start carrying at this point...
Edit:
-Prior to taking to range I did clean and lube.
-I dropped the open slide to rack the round, didn't rack it myself. Not sure if that makes a difference.
