2209 powder

[Mickyd]

hi guys I had a misfire and decided yo see why the miss fire was because the BR2 primer had nothing in it but when the 2209 powder came out it some of them were yellow instead of the regular silver colour would there be someone on here know what has happened there has been no wet case I don't clean my cases like that the powder has been stored in a nice dry location dont know how to post a pic

Most likely from the soft flame, a doughy primer will discolour the powder

I've only ever had 1 misfire in several thousand rounds and that was with CCI BR2s and WW760 powder.
The powder near the flash hole had melted/clumped into a yellow mass.

At the time I thought it may have been caused by not using magnum primers with ball powder but I never had a reoccurrance so put it down to a dud primer.
Disappointing really as the BR2s are my most commonly used primers.

Every time I have a misfire with BR2’s, half the powder is that yellow when I dump it out.. My guess is it’s the primers fault.
