I've noticed it with the 9mm Monarch--no failures in either of the Glocks I use it in but, looking at the fired cases, the primer strikes weren't as deep as the Winchester I was using in the same range session. I've read other places that Prvi Partizan, who makes Monarch for Academy, uses mil-spec primers (which are harder than commercial primers) in their ammo.
I haven't used a lot of Monarch, but the several boxes of .45's I've put through Kimbers and Kahrs all went "bang" first time every time.
