The word is at our falling plate matches, where the top guns
shoot S&W K frames with tuned actions and light double
action pulls, is that cci primers are hard and that 
ignition is inconsistent when using these revolvers. All
of them reload with Federal primers. They claim that they
are the most sensitive made. I had to put the factory spring
back in my K frame to get it to ignite my reloads with WW
primers. I had no problems with Federal primed reloads.
