Picture says it all. That was 100 yards with aTikka .308 fed Ranch Dog 165's over a dose of 842 surplus powder.

no no no, those things are like gold to those who are reloading primers, most throw them away and are now regretting it because they have need them for primers again.

I use the slipcovers to stamp 5/8 inch 12 ga overshot card stock wads. Use 209 primer plastic trays as spacers in a 12 ga shot shell 25 rd box when I load my 2 inch 12 ga shells. Traded off all my cci small pistol primers for large pistol but am planning on using small rifle instead. Have .455 and .45acp spp brass to use them in.

I tear the front off and write on them as label to toss in the ammo cans.

Nice shooting and nice rifle! I too went stainless/laminate with my Tikka in 30-06. Patently boring tack-driver right out of the box. Cold clean bore about 1/2in high and right of everything else touching at 100yds (with Jwords, benchrested). Haven't fed it cast.....yet. ;)

When I absolutely positively have to hit something out there a ways I grab one of my Tikka T3 rifles. That's just the way it is.
Good shooting!

How much are they worth? I have quite a quality of them!

Very nice shooting. Just my opinion I feel your some kind of lucky to have your wife enjoy the shooting sports with you! Mine is supportive but I can't seen to get her interested in the range side of things. For what it's worth I've been saving the covers from my primer containers For a long time.I looked the other day and I've counted over 62,000 rounds that I've loaded.

I put the spent primers back into those sleeves and then put the sleeves back into the box. Will be interesting to see how many are fooled at my future estate auction.

And you are 100% correct.
