any body having trouble with wlp being too small I use a RCBS APS tool and when I loaded the strips some of them just fell out .I primed some 44 mags with them not much resitance seating them.I measured some at .209 to .2095. federal and cci measured .210 to.215 any body have any Winchesters they could measure see if they are all small or I just got a bad box

Willy, any chance you got an old box? There were a lot of such complaints just after Win stopped plating primers, but I have not heard any lately and my WLPs load fine.

I'll try to remember to measure for you when I get out in the shop.

I don't have my stuff handy, but I get the same resistance from my priming tool with CCIs and WLPs for 45ACP. It could be your brass. Some brass is looser than others. I use WLPs almost exclusively now for 45ACP and they have been fine for years. The only problem I had was a few primers that failed to detonate from one box I had about two years ago.

So far have not had any problems with the WW. Did have some CCI's from the 80's that were a bit large though. Kinda crunched when ya seated them.
