    I've loaded a few thousand Fed 200s into 9mm cases this year. Works great. If you have a need and are ok with the price, why not buy a few more?

    I've loaded a few thousand 9mms with Fed 200 primers this year. Work absolutely fine. If you need primers and the price is ok to you, why not add more?
