Bummer, you raise a significant issue. I can't say that I've had primer-related misfires in every box, but I've certainly noted that rimfire ammo is less reliable in ignition than is centerfire.

We discussed this a bit on the Rimfire Forums - there appeared to be a strong feeling that more expensive match grade ammo was more reliable in ignition than the "regular stuff." Ultraman, you might do well to consider this. Of course, you could just use Aguila 40-grain Interceptors (the fastest 40-grainer .22 LRs I've ever chrono'd, albeit with enormous spreads from handguns) which use Eley priming (second to none).

Nice thing about Ultraman's 8-shot J-frame is that a misfired round is quickly bypassed by a natural second tug at the trigger.
