WINCHESTER PRIMERS ?
« on: September 24, 2007, 02:39:27 AM »
I ran out of my CCI large rifle primers and asked a Buddie if he had an extra box of large rifle primers and I would repay him when I get to the gun shop.
He gave me a box of Winchester rifle primers :funny thing it states for large rifle and mag rifles:
I always thought they had 2 different types of primers one states LARGE RIFLE and another for LARGE RIFLE MAG:
ANYONE CAN ANS: WHY WINCHESTERS HAS ONE PRIMER FOR BOTH ?
I loaded them in my 30-06 with my regular load and I think they did better then the CCI

I don't know about the rifle primers, but the pistol primers work that way. One size fits all -- Magnum and Non-Magnum.

They are the same size as any other large rifle primer. FWIW I use WLR primers in all my rifle loading if there is data available.
