Anybody else having problems with this ammo? Had two different 308 bolt action rifles try to fire this stuff and it won't ignite the primer on either of them. Rifles work fine with other ammo.

Those strikes look a little light no? Or is it just the photo angle?

They definitely look like light strikes, but given OP tried the ammo in two rifles that leads me to think it's the ammo. What brand rifles were they OP?

I think aguila somehow slipped up and made this lots primer cups out of adamantium

Savage Axis and my buddies Mossberg. We were shooting other ammo just fine.

Like, I know savage is not the “best” brand and I don’t know much about mossberg rifles but I know mossberg’s basic firearms lines are not exactly premium either, but both of them having trouble firing is still weird and probably the ammo.

Two very inaccurate rifles

What does that have to do with light strikes?

Oh sorry! I read the comments first lol. I thought accuracy was the question. If you tried the ammo in two completely different firearms then the ammo has to be the problem here. There are light primer strikes but I see a couple that definitely should have gone off

No worries lol I thought you were trolling at first

The axis has a pretty rough action when new but is generally a pretty accurate platform. Ive run 5 different axis rifles over the years, from the axis 1 to the axis 2 pro, and they have all been capable of sub moa accuracy with factory loads

What makes you think a savage is inherently inaccurate?

Did they put surplus primers in them or something? I've only ever seen light strikes like that trying to run military surplus in a hunting rifle
