Question Hardest ammo/primers to ignite

Greetings all.

Had some work done to a revolver and it came back failing to pop Magtech 158 gr SWC's. Went back in and it is working now, but I'd like to put a few other guns through the paces because that 50% ignition rate made me shiver a bit. It was 100% with Federals prior to that discovery.

So - for the current crop of ammo on the market - which is the most detonation resistant for reliability testing?

Many thanks to the brain trust -
