Where are the large rifle primers???

[michael.birdsley]

do you think there will be day when everything is one type of primer ? one primer fits all sort of thing. it would kind of make things easier for everyone. or a standard rifle primer and a standard pistol primer. no large and small for either.

you might have to come up with some differnt powder formulas to make it work. however, it would make things economically and in general easier

I have to admit that I haven’t actively hunted since I’ve gotten into muzzle loading. However, I keep thinking about taking a wild hog with one. I’m sure a .69 caliber round ball would work on them. As always, bullet placement is key.

I'd love it, just learning curve, yep, and also a bit leery of being in knee-deep northwoods snow on a deer on a snowy day....and }click." Still, forefathers must have done something right!

Getting sufficient energy from/through a smaller cup would be difficult; different mixture compound for the larger cases. To be extreme - Envision a Small Primer in a 50BMG case; or even an artillery or Tank shell. There is a technical driver for the different size primers.

That being said; I had been thinking of sleeving primer pockets on .223/.308/.30-40/30-06 before I settled on Remanufacturing primer for my own use. In the past; I had even postulated sleeving .50BMG pockets for Large Rifle Primers.

Someone should make adapter sleeves to use small primers in large pockets.

They made small primer 30-30 brass too. It was labeled 30 American. Sold by Federal.

They did at one time. Some of the old bench rest shooters may have some stashed. The idea was to give a gentle ignition./beagle

I was fortunate to pick up a Federal#200 Large Primer Brick (1000) earlier this week at the Kalispell Sportman's Ski Haus for $79.99. They limited to na single brick (better than only 100 to 200).
