I recently purchased some Ginex large rifle primers to use in reloading 30-06 rounds for hunting. At the range this morning, I shot 30 rounds of the reloads (using a chrono and doing some load testing). 20 were fired in a Win Model 70 (pre-64) with no problems. 10 were fired in a Win Model 70...

With the shortage of primers and the lack of selection, I am forced to use magnum primers when I should use standard. The question came to mind "What is the difference between magnum and standard primers?" My first thought was burn rate, the reason for the thought was based on the powder burn...

Like most people, I feel the crunch on reloading supplies. $48 for 1,000 CCI Lg pistol primers. I get it, supply and demand. Last weekend, at a gun show in MT, I watched man after man pay $150 for bricks of 1,000 Sm rifle. I know of a neighbor that got taken for $200 on 3 boxes of primers...

Hey guys, This is a slightly odd ask. Does anyone hold onto their empty primer trays? I'm looking for a large quantity of the Remington 300 trays/holders (See Picture). They are the ones holding primers on their sides in 100 individual compartments. They are approx., 2.75 by 2. Im willing...

I am looking at starting to load my own ammo soon, but have a couple questions. First off I have a mix of manufactured brass sitting in containers at home. To load these do I need to know who made these before I reload them? They are all 9mm brass 115 gr. I think, but some are Blazer, Federal...
