I have purchased a pack of small rifle primers from my local trusted suppliers. "WILSONS HUNTING AND OUTDOORS Wanganui (without an "H") :>) which seem to be the nearest size to the "used" primers...........Talk about fiddley........Used carefully, a Lee 308 die pops the used primer out, but there IS a need for the correct shell holder to centralise the case when pushing the primer in.

Oy Vey....my failing eyesight.

When PUSH come to SHOVE, I can bear the cost, but it is an exercise to keep my little gray cells active and avoid early........well late dementia
