A little primer information

[Kurt]

Next time I get to a gun shop I will pick up a brick and give then a try.
I have a 10 pin for turkeys using WLR primers The little cookie munchers like them so I gave it along with 5 pins for everything but the pesky chicks

Don those RP primers are nearly impossible to find up here, but I recently did some ( grease groove ) bullet shooting with 70gr of OE 1.5, and the BACO 459530M4 bullet and it worked well with the BR2 primers. I haven't tried any others with that load though :-)

Chris I was wondering what your primer situation was up there.
Can you take primers back with you?

[Gunlaker]

Sort of. The Canadian government allows me to bring them in, but the U.S. gov't requires an export permit which would make them too expensive. I have sources for most primers now, but just not a constant supply of the RP ones.

Fortunately I can generally get Federal LP and LR match.

Was wondering what sort of hoops you'll have to jump thru. I know where you could get a brick of the Rp's if you wanted to try them.

I found this a while back and found it interesting.

Thanks for the offer Don. I'll just stick with the primers that I can get easily. I generally have Federal Match, anything CCI, and WLR around so it's not too bad.

If you want to work with the primers you have. Try a piece of coffee filter paper over the primer at the bottom of the case.
I run br2's and when I tried the paper over the primer deal. My 500yd target said it was the thing to do.
The coffee filter paper leaves no ash, like cig. paper does.
