I too experienced squib loads in .38s. I loaded about 300 and a few hundred 9mm with the same primers. The 9mm all fired, about 8 .38's did not. The 1000 primers were all discolored and I blame them. The 9s pack the powder more than the 38s so I had no problem with them. I sent some reloads off to Remington (their primers) over a month ago and haven't heard back yet, if I will at all. I unloaded the 200+ rounds and all had powder in them. The squib loads had unburned powder on the bullet and case. Powder was Bullseye. I have fired more than 3000 rounds of .38 with their primers and Bullseye powder and never had a squib before. New box of primers and have had no problems.
