    rbuck351 - GONRA sez be veeery careful using Shotgun Shell Battery Cup Primers in a Centerfire Rifle application! Wear first class eye protection and (IF you MUST doit) only LOW PRESSURE loads.

    >>> Please do NOT use Shotgun Shell Battery Cup Primers in this application. <<<

    (Hava vague memory of a .50 BMG reloader trying this long ago to save $$$$ over pricy .50 BMG primers.
    Was NOT a satisfactory application. Just "Looked Good".)

    I saw that.
    The pin is really thin.
    I would think it would snap on crimped primers.

    The pin is the end of a dental pick/probe.
    Pretty tough.

    So you're saying the two 5.56 shells I found with 209's in them should be used with caution? lol

    The bolt must fit fairly tight at the neck. Case sits on an appropriate socket. Case is half+ full of water. Hit the bolt and primer will come out. If primer does not come out bolt needs to fit neck better. Only brass that I have felt is worth this effort is Swiss 7.5x55. Really pretty brass, but Berdan primed.
