Default Not bad but heres mine.

I was working on an unfinished gun. An Enfield action on a custom 460 G&A. This is a .404 Jeffery necked up to .458. I was having ignition problems and was firing primed brass and working on the bolt mechanics and striker etc...I got the gun to ignite all 50 rounds at home so I loaded all with 90 grains of 4064 and took a drive to where I shoot(50 min away).I had 5 hangfires and two that fired as expected. Tired of this gun by now I drove home and figured I'd pull the bullets. The 4064 was like moisture had got to salt and set it up. I used a pencil to break it up and empty the cases. It was then I saw that I used standard primers when I shoulda used mag primers. The standards would fire but you couldn't hear it or feel it, just enough to crystalize the powder. One of those things that dam near made me cry I was so upset it wouldn't fire with all the work I had done.......Admitting it is the first step, Right?
