Having trouble with Encore and Superformance
« on: November 02, 2010, 03:58:03 PM »
Having misfires with Encore 25-06 and Hormady Superformance ammo ???. Any one else had trouble with either?
The primers look like they are struck pretty hard, but 5-6 out of a box misfired, click NO BANG.

I've e-mailed Hornady but no answer yet.

Haven't tried another brand yet, 25-06 is kind of hard to come by around here right now.

If you have a hammer extension installed, remove it and try shooting without it. They are  known to cause problems with the Encore.
If removing the extension does not correct the problem, I would check the headspace with the ammo you are using.

I don't hace a hammer extension on it.

How do I check the head space? Should I take it to a gunsmith?
