sitsinhedges Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 If I couldn't identify a primer I would dispose of them and use whatever the recipe you are using states or you may not get the performance and safety you are looking for. Using unidentified components is a very bad idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just incase someone could tell me what they are or simply say yea they will be fine to use. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deershooter Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 100 primers about £2.70 but come on lads why waste them use them in any load that calls for a CX2000 try one or two there is nothing hotter than a CX2000 so what's the problem The only thing that might be wrong is these might be the wrong size I have some with green varnish and have never found a case for them to fit The worst that could happen is a low pressure round Deershooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just went up to try these in some hulls. Your right they do not fit. They do not press in they are too small. And that's 12g and 20g hulls. So there you go my question is answered. No I can not use these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subsonicnat Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Do not fire them down the barrel to train the dog either, your barrels will rust as fast as you fire them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fieldsports Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Do not fire them down the barrel to train the dog either, your barrels will rust as fast as you fire them. I won't honest. Thanks for the concern. I still appreciate the fact that someone was kind enough to give them to me and they were not to know if they were any good or not. BUT Since asking for advice on here has learned me a lot. This is a cracking place for advice and I will take it onboard. So I will start again...... Anyone got some primers and powder to sell cheap just so I can have a go loading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fieldsports Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) POSTAGE POSTAGE POSTAGE you need to see if you can get some local. Whats that place near birtley is it called something like bowtec not sure what powder the sell I would be interested in what that place is. As long as its not Bradford & Stalker...... I would rather dig my knee Cap out with a rusty spoon than spend any more money in that place. ___________________________________ If there is a place in Birtley please please tell me.....
