Only had one partial ignition short round which surprised me out of about 15 shots. About half the primers were very hard to remove and a few needed a tool because I couldn't remove them with my fingers. I'm hoping the CCI magnum shot shell primers will be different.

Unlike NAME REMOVED, I did experience a little blowback. The primers were always dark and there was some residue on the receiver around the firing pin area. The rifle did shoot nice and I especially like the clean up with the new style breech plug with the threads on the out side. The rifle is a little heavy. Equipped with scope, sling and the Warne rings it weighed in at 9 lbs. 2 oz. My Accura MR equipped with scope, sling and Durasight ring weighs in at 8 lbs 4 oz."
He supplied good information and I agree. Like I said I would tweek the plug, and that might eliminate his problem. I'll figure that out pretty easy this weekend. Actually, the plug would just need to go up against a wall instead of being open like it is. But I'll keep an eye on that for sure.
