Miss fire.

Uh, isn’t that how the Accu Trigger is supposed to work? That is, it shouldn’t fire unless you depress the center blade first (as you squeeze) and then execute the shot? I’ve got an Axis II and a 220 and seems that I remember reading in the owners manual that this is an added safety feature of the Accu Trigger.

Incorrect. You are mistaken the AccuTrigger for Glock Safe Action type trigger. The AccuTrigger can and does engage without the center blade being fully depressed and in doing so results in light primer strikes and uncocking. If you try pulling a Glock trigger without depressing the center blade safety it will not move. The video does not really illustrate this and the narrator incorrectly identifies the center blade as a safety which it is not by my definition but perhaps you could say it is since a light primer strike doesn’t result in the gun firing .

Doesn't *usually* result in the gun firing. Softer primers might betray you.

Here’s what the owners manual states. Maybe I’m misunderstanding. Wouldn’t be the first time

I’ve talked to three different people that had Hornady 7-08 low recoil ammo not fire for their kids.

That’s what I thought too but I tested it yesterday after the misfire. It will absolutely fire without touching the center part at all but like I said it doesn’t sound right at all. It’s more of a thud than a snap when the firing pin goes off. Wednesday I’m going on a doe thinning mission at my dads and I’m going to try the same shell that didn’t fire.

After the hunt I may shoot and test this out with live rounds. Either way I think I’m going to look into a different trigger for the gun.

We’ll look at that, this describes exactly what I was trying to explain. This is all correct except light primer strikes do happen with them so the firing pin must be moving slightly. With a Glock the trigger doesn’t move and there is no “click” it either goes bang or doesn’t go bang.

Terrible design by Savage IMO. I’m all for improving trigger pull but in a hunting situation the gun has to go off when the trigger is pulled, regardless of how “well” or “correct” it is pulled.

Without reading all the responses, that looks like a light primer strike just from the one picture you posted. It’s not a very deep hit
