Anyone know where I can get a No. 7?

I recently purchased the only one I have ever seen for sale in Canada. I was disappointed on the first trip to the range to have a significant number of misfires. It appears that the firing pin is striking a little too centrally on the base of the cartridge and not close enough to the rim for consistent ignition. Any suggestions? I will try some different brands of ammo nest time and see if this helps.

Are you talking about the one that has the 5 round mag. set into the 10 round mag. ?

I found careful selection of brand to improve this somewhat (Eley Club being the least worst) but the only real answer was a new bolthead.
