S & B primers - The Firearms Forum

went to a gun show today, was really trying to find some wolf/tula primers and save some cash.

my usual guy only had 1 box of magnums and I didn't need them.. then I noticed S&B primers.

I grabbed a couple bricks of SR for some 222/223 and will see how they do.

they are priced competitively with the wolf/tula. 25$

I remember seeing W/T for 20 at the beginning of the year.

missed out on those I guess..

didn't see any S&B LRP though

also.. looking over some surp 762x39.. I noticed some brass cased bulk stuff.. got happy for a moment thinking I had found relaodable brass, only to flip them over and see they were berdan..

i've seen plenty of new production berdan primed steel case stuff.. though hadn't seen new prduction brass cased berdan primed stuff.

speaking of berdan... why?

boxer not good enough?

single flash hole not reliable? boxer cases would seem to be easier to make?
