it could also be your gun. If the primers were too hard or the wrong type you would still show a slight tap or light strike. If there is no mark on the primer that means the firing pin never got to the ammo, so possibly a problem with the gun itself. Your rifle could have some gunk down in the firing pin recess, slowing the firing pin down, or there could be some solidified oil around the firing pin spring slowing it down. This is one of the reason we tell folks to keep all oil totally away from your guns. If it needs lubing a small amount of grease will be fine but never oil. Anyway, it could be the ammo but could also be your rifle.
