 My 62 will only fire certain brands of ammo.   The cases are all dented identically by the firing pin but some brands will not ignite and some brands will fire every time. Anyone else experience this or do I have a weak spring or worn firing pin.  Thanks

Raymond,

Which specific brand(s) will not fire reliably?

Hello   I have had problems with Federal Gold Medal, Winchester Wildcat, Blazer.  The only reliable brand has been CCI.  The sub-sonic loads all work well. Thanks,  Ray Papp

Can you post a clear close-up picture of the firing pin strike on one that did not fire and one that did?
