   Interesting observations. My current experiments with cartridges that run both sizes have left me scratching my head. In 224 Valkyrie and 6.8SPC I have brass with both sizes. Using 224V Starline...

    Use WW760 in my 6.5x55ai and only had one failure to ignite in 860 rounds fired. CCI BR2s. I believe it was a faulty primer. Everyone said I MUST use a magnum primer. So I tried CCI Magnums. The...
