Substitute Primers

bperdue21

I have been using federal gold medal match large rifle magnum primers in my 300 and 338 win mags. In absence of such a primer, which is apparently the hardest primer to find right now, where would you start? I am not going to just switch the primers out and go on. I am going to start over.

Just my opinion; there is no need to start over, just get a primer you can obtain, WOLF are OK and seem available, Winchester are my #2 favorite after Federal, and see how they do for you.

I agree with bpost1958, don`t start over just switch primers to a good brand and keep on loading. I use the Remingtion, and are going to get some Wolf for standby if I can`t find or run out of Remingtons. I am not sure of the CCI primers any more I have heard that they are too soft, which I don`t know what that means. I have used them for years but I am not sure that I would recomend them until I find out more about them.

Want to know how to switch ANY component while never firing an unsafe shot and using a bare minimum of components in testing?

(My pages display perfectly in Firefox, Chrome and Safari, but some versions of IE scramble them.)

Rocky, I would really like to see that article but on my IE it shows for about 2 seconds and then goes to a blank screen.

Like I said, IE scrambles it.

It might be far right instead of flush left, but it also might be gobbledegook as well. The pages were written using Microsoft software; naturally, a different MS product can't read it.

Download Firefox, or Google Chrome and you'll never look back.

My IE moves everything on Rockys site to the far right. Everything reads OK though.
