This causes light primer strikes in many guns, not just vintage guns either. They won't even fire reliably in my Perazzi. I finally determined that they will fire reliably in every external hammer gun I own, and have relegated them to that. If I didn't have this problem with hem I'd use them much more.
Randy and Stan: Thanks for the reply's. I am going to give them a test go on all my Damascus guns.
