Last week went to the range with 2 of my 43 Spanish Rifle. PeabodyModel 1874? and my Remington Lee M 1882
I have shot both before with Reclaimed Original cases Remington Berdan primed . Over the winter I broke down and Purchased 50 Case Of Bertram . New .. Loadeded Both Lots 40GN / IMR3031 with Paper wad and reclaimed Remington lead boolits.
The rem Case I primed with 6.45 MM rws berdan primer
Bertram were CCI Large rifle, all new primers
Every one of The rem Cases went Off . while Non of the Bertram cases fired. In both Rifles.
the primer strike was very strong On the Remington Cases. while the strike was very week on the bertram. Since Both these Headspace On the Rim. The bertram Brass was quite different on Visual inspection.
anyone else have had this problem
Enclosed Photo's of Both rifles
