I‘ve never been one to worry at all, but don’t wanna be irresponsible. I have an elephant Safari coming up 37 days out. Last practice session with my Enfield 404 I had a Hornady round fail to fire. Primer appeared to be sufficiently dented. Never had a fail to fire before or after. Tried the round several times over the course of the session with same result. Can’t imagine a worse outcome on an elephant hunt in a tight moment than a loud “click“. Also had two Hornady rounds fail to fire in a practice session with my Ruger 9.3 x 62. All others fired with no issues. Weak spring is a known issue with the Ruger, so I dropped it off for replacement on the way home. I’ve shot 100s of rounds through the Enfield with the one failure only. That said, I don’t have any reason to think that the Enfield spring is not still the original and over 100 years old.
I’m not getting a warm fuzzy here. What say yee?
