Anyone deal with this before?

I've recently have more light strikes with my Tikka .308 shooting factory M118LR than all the other light strikes combined in my entire life. I have shot at least 10k of M118lr and can never remember a failure to fire in any other bolt gun or gas gun. now, Im getting 1-5 per 100 rounds fired. The primers don't have very deep impressions, and I tried shooting each of them several times.

Even had a FTF on a CCI 450 primer from a reload. Swapped the FP with one from another T3, didn't seem to make a difference.

already checked for debris, gunk, dried lube, rubbing, etc. Protrusion looks good, checked headspace on the rounds and they are fine.

Looking for any other oddball cause or ideas.
