I was thinking 28 gauge or 27 gauge brass or aluminum. According to my calipers that's the general thickness of primer cups. Only reason I might choose 27 gauge is possibly for the stretching from...

This recent shortage has definitely gotten crazy! Don't think I'll be buying factory primers again anytime soon. I started making my own again. Saving what factory stuff I have for a rainy day. Also...

I agree with Nueces
I suspect this was something from 1850s and 1860s that was intended for ammunition manufacturers. My guess would be production of musket paper cartridges.

Wow! Lol I love this place. You guys still managed to find something to talk about.

Forum: CB Loads / Military Rifles
Well IMR 4227 was a waste of time in my yugo 59/66. 17gr and not enough gas to even fully extract the case. Didn't bother going to 17.5gr

Yes welcome to the thread. Though primers are easy to get now I still like to repack them now and then. It's fun and can be addicting as much as all the reloading experience. Remember it's as safe as...
