Out of the tens if not hundreds of thousands of rounds I've loaded in my time. The only times I've had hang fires was for two reasons.
1st was really old primers. I was given some 10-15 year old primers. 1-10 out of the case of 700-800 that were in the box had delayed fire.
2nd case was an extremely dirty AR with an aftermarket trigger. Not only was the firing pin and bolt completely caked with carbon crud and lubricant, because it was shot suppressed for such a long time, the firing control area of the lower was also caked with crud and lubricant. Between the hammer fighting crap and the firing pin fighting crap, it started to hang fire.
