Thanks for all your comments and suggestions. I now realize how fortunate I've been over the years, as this is my first squib experienced with factory center fire ammo. I think the issue was as described by KWH in post #22. My gut reaction was to be upset with Fiocchi, but from what I learned on this thread, I agree there's no reason for me to "knee-jerk" , and I will call Fiocchi to explain the problem, and move on. Again, thanks all
