"bore snakes" etc. and other quickie methods are NOT cleaning a gun.
Finally, priming might be a culprit. If you are using import primers, try switching to US make. However, I shoot thousands of Fiocchi and Nobel primers with no problems. I dislike Cheddites however.

John;
I agree with you on the WD40 but what do you dislike about the Cheddite primers? I've been using them for about 2 years and have found them comparable to WW209's but cheaper.
