A question for my TFL hunters and shooters.
Today while practicing target shooting from field position for my up coming first deer season (age 63 late bloomer) I had several rounds that required two trigger pulls to fire the round. My practice load uses a MagTech 9 1/2 primer, 40 grains IMR 4198 and a Berry’s bullet 350 grain bullet in my Henry 45-70. The temperature this morning was 38 F. The firing pin and its travel look good and I can see no difference in the indentations between the first and second strike.
Is this a primer, temperature or rifle problem?
Thanks.
All the best,
Bill
