Has anyone else had problems with winchester small pistol primers? I reloaded 20 rounds of 32 S&W long to try before I reload the rest and had 3 that didn't fire.They were all struck.I'm thinkin 3 failures out of 20 isn't looking too good for Winchester.Who has the most reliable primers?

tech1,
For what its worth, I had a similar problem and it turned out that I needed a spring replacement on my bolt action rifle. The primers lokked like a perfect hit, read that as big dimple.....but the firing pin was not hitting them hard enough to get them fired.
The winchester metal of the primers is a bit thicker than federal primers and I thought it was the Winchester primers.....live and learn....
