    Thanks for the insights @grandpamac, I got onto the small primer jig when I ran a 6.5 Creedmore that came with small primer brass.......I had ignition problems then with W760, hang fires and the like, all cured when I changed over to the 450 primer. Since I had a good supply of 450's I went with palma cases in the 308, but as things go I ended up with a mix of both. Which I actually enjoy, (being able to keep loads seperated by primer type) knowing the Palma brass can take a lot more pressure helps when chasing high velocity and I can run the large primer brass for practice. and its good to know the number of reloads is significantly higher with the palma brass.
    And yes definitely not an 18 inch barrel!
