(Edit: correction: nickel Federals and brass colored Winchester)
I put the FTF round back in the magazine at the end of my range session, and it fired OK.
Brought my G27 home and gave the slide a good detail strip cleaning.

Guess I'm ready to make up a batch for next IDPA practice and see how it does.

You're doing something wrong in your priming process. Probably not seating them deep enough. No way should you need a restrike to fire.
I used a zillion Winchester primers - never ever had a dud. Unless they had QC problems at the end of the Obama scare, I'm calling Bull on this Winchester quality myth.
