In a previously published article, I wrote about the hang fire<\/a>, how to recognize it, and what action to take should you experience one. In this article, we will start with the next type of malfunction, which is called the dud. I would dare say that if you have been shooting long enough you have no doubt encountered a dud.<\/p>\n

It might have been a disappointingly bad date, a friend that did not perform up to expectations, a lousy party, or a cartridge that did not fire. But by any other name, a dud is a dud. As previously mentioned, in the early days of firearms<\/a> using centerfire ignition, the quality of the powder and primers wasn\u2019t always good.<\/p>\n
