What standard primers do you run in your wheelies? Non-magnum.
Shortly before the Covid panic hit, an LGS had a close out on Remington 5 1/2 small pistol primers.
I left with tens of thousands.
Now I know why they were on closeout: these have to be the hardest damn primers ever. Even with full-strength mainsprings, they average about 5% FTGB (failure to go bang) the first time around. Usually a second blow ignites them.
Yes, they’re being seated to correct depth. They’re the only primers that have this issue. Winchester, Federal, CCIs, & REM 1 1/2 all pop fine, even in guns with reduced power mainsprings that aren’t competion grade.
This is my primary primer supply for feeding my .38/.357 revos. The only bottem-feeders I load for are .45 ACPs.
Thinking of selling them and stocking up on something else.
