The POINT is that it is recognized that we come across hard primers and that many times a 2nd strike will usually set them off. NOT that I agree with that philosophy IN PRACTICE (i.e. in a firefight). In that case, it's tap, rack, BANG!!
All I can tell you is, you asked for opinions. I gave you mine. You don't like it, I understand. It happens. I have experience with lots of guns, and have reloaded for decades and can't say I have seen where a second strike helped a gun go off if the gun is working correctly. I have seen encores with hammer extentions not strike hard enough. This is the guns fault. I have seen plenty of rounds get hit square and hard on the primers, and not go off, and the 93% number is BS. I have seen remington 7400's not strike hard enough because of cold weather and oil along iwth resedue made grease. Again, this is the guns fault.
I have used CCI, Fed, Remington, Winchester, primers. Fed being the softest and CCI the hardest. Again, never saw the need for a second strike. I have extensive experience with FN 45's and again, never seen an issue like your referring too.
