I use nothing but Remington 9.5 primers, and have no experience with the magnum version. A local dealer is selling them for $10.00 per K. That is a steal, but not if they are not useful in what I do. I shoot no magnum rifle rounds and almost zero condum bullets. Mostly 30-30,30-40,308,30-06,and the like. Talk to me...

Chargar; if you shoot any of the ultra slow powders with cast they could be of benefit. I use mag primers with WC872-860, and IMR5010 when using a caseful and heavy cast boolit. The price is RIGHT!

Chargar,

Don't like magnum primers huh? Have you ever heard the term "tradin material"?

Those are slow powder medicine.

I have about 30 lbs of WC872 which I like a bunch. I use standard REm. 9.5, but if the Mag version will work as well or better than I can use them. I will trot down there tomorrow and pick up about 10K. They also have bunch of Rem. 6.5 for the same price, but the only round I load that uses SR primers is the 25-20 and I have a stock of about 5K CCI and Winchester SR primers. Some are left over from when I stocked up in 1965 thinking the Viet Nam war would cause a shortage of reloading components. Didn't happen, although you had to pay full retail plus a premium for new SMith and Colt handguns for a couple of years.

For some reason, people in this town won't buy Remington primers and the gunshop is moving them out at $10.00 per K. All the pistol primers and 9.5s got bought before I learned of the sale.

Chargar---I'd thought Mag primers were for Mag guns. I had never noticed it but, a whole bunch of Lymans .22 cal listings are with Rem 7 1/2 primers which I think is their mag primer.

Hi guys, Rem 71/2 is a Bench Rest Primer. All I use in my 222 and 223. If that store is selling them, I would love to buy a bunch. They are hard to find. All that they sell around here is CCI which work fine for me. But REM 71/2!

Well, I am now deep in Remington 9.5M primers. Purchased all they had which was 2 box of 5K each. That give me 11K of these things.

Hrmm. 2 x 5 = 11? Really?

I use lots of the Rem 7 1/2 primers .
Some primer charts list them as a bench rest MAG primer

I do know they are a little hoter than other bench rest primers.

Mag primers are used with any Ball powder load. They are used with the more hard to ignite powders, or at least Winchester recommends them with all Ball powder loads.

Fiber..It works like this. I bought 1K, then went back and box 2 boxes of 5K each.

1+5+5=11

Were you born an jerk or did somebody make you that way?
