No compound. in the caps

No compound. in the caps

That is very unusual. In all my years of reloading centrefire, shotgun and shooting BP guns I have never seen a cap/primer without any priming compound.

Have these been bought in error?
Some sites sell caps/primers without priming for display or re-enacment, if not, I hope you are going to return them to the supplier.

Strange. I use CCI #10 , 11 and small pistol and can't remember ever having any problems.

Same with me - I've used CCI 10s and 11s for 20 odd years - never had a bad one ?

Did you confirm they had no compound, or was it an assumption because they failed to go off ?

The reason I mention it is that I had an issue with caps but found it was a tiny bit of cap in the lockwork that just impeded the hammer enough to hit but not detonate the caps. That was a fun one to find !

No, completely devoid of any compound, empty caps guess they forgot to fill the hopper at the factory Open the tins and check them before leaving the shop
