I've fired many many thousands of factory shotshells over the years and can't recall a single dud amongst them. I've fired maybe a thousand or two reloads with no dud primers, but last year I had 5 dud shells using 700-X, all happening at matches (of course). The two at the Southern cost me those birds. The primer pushed the wad and shot out, but I poured the unburned powder out of the hull and barrel. It never ignited
