Loaded some bullets for my ar-15 and finally tried some out today but have some questions. When using loads on the low end I was hearing the firing pin hit before the round went off. Not a big delay but just enough that I could hear it. Kinda threw me off. As the powder increased it seemed to happen less and my accuracy improved. Using wc-844 powder with 55 gr fmj and cci 41 primers. Used reloading data for h335 powder loading 10 each starting at 24grains working up to 26 grains. First question why the delayed ignition. primers seated properly and flash holes clean. Question 2. My Speer reloading manual shows a max load of 26 gr with h335 but hodgen says max load for a 55 grain bullet is anywhere between 22.7 to 25.3. Am I safe with this powder at these loads. There were no pressure signs. Thanks in advance for any help
