Just got a Ruger .454 Casull in trade.
Broght it to the range and in 28 rounds, had two FTFs..
One, a Hornady, would not light after many strikes. I had to drop it in the dud bucket.
The other, a Magtech, fired after another strike.
I know the .454 uses rifle primers - is this common with this caliber or does this gun need work?
The gun is/was clean, including the firing pin hole. Mechanically the gun appears to be sound. The primer strikes are just a hair off center on the primer.
Any ideas?
