But, I have a few pistols that like Federal Auto Match. Also, believe it or not, Wolf Target Match is pretty dang good over all. I have a Savage target rifle that shoots very very tight groups with it. Rarely have a missfire or a flyer.

I use Wof Match exclusively in my

Silhouette Rifles. It is the same ammo as SK Match. Very high quality stuff. I bought over 50K when they were only about $2.50 a box. It will be a sad day when it runs out.

I CAN'T RECALL EVER HAVING A FAILURE

TO FIRE WITH CCI MINI-MAGs. YOU DID NOT MENTION WHAT YOU
ARE SHOOTING THEM IN. YOU MAY NEED TO CHECK YOUR GUN.

Model 34 shooting it D/A. Clean when I started.

1 round failed in the very 1st 6. Fired on the 2nd strike. Thanks John-I'm thinking now it's the gun.

if it fired on the second hit, in most cases it is either a

high primer in a centerfire or a light hammer spring in a rimfire. Colleen has a model 34 that she hunts with and

the hammer spring got a bit weak a while back and was misfiring and we replaced the hammer spring. Now it is fine. Get your local gunsmith to put a new spring in there and you should be fine. Colleen's M-34.

lighter in DA than SA. When I first took the grips off of it (last year), it looked like the main spring had rubbed the washers for the factory medallions some? Is that common or even possible? The grips are numbered to the gun so I'd think they'd be fine. Could I be squeezing the grips so hard when shooting it double action that they are contacting the spring? Thanks Gary.

without seeing the gun there is no way to tell, but replace

You can put a spent primer cup between the screw and the spring.

before you replace the spring, take the grips off and

in the lower front of the gripframe there is a small screw. Turn it clockwise (tighten it). If it turns at all that will give a bit more power to the hammer spring and should solve the problem.

there is where you screwed up. You cleaned it. Shame
