    Not so much more sensative but a thinner cup. Typically 17 thou versus SR primers at 20 - 25 thou. I use SP primers in my Hornets and get better results than with SR which have a stronger spark....

    Not silly. I've wet primers in cases and they've happily gone bang next morning although the odd one was a tad muted. Same as this nonsense about handling them kills them. Primers are hardy little...

    Ah, almost right. CCI for example have the anvil petals sticking out. With RWS the anvil is flush with the bottom edge of the cup so you cannot preload them or push the anvil back in. With early...

    Don't know where this came from and know of nobody that has had it happen to. No doubt there is a risk but when Tipton introduced their rod to the US military they demonstrated its strength and...

    Yes, as I said I always present my licence to the buyer even if he doesn't ask to see mine The other thing, which I am bad at, is quickly scanning the licence. Make a point of reading it carefully.

    Goes back a long time. I attended 3 NZDA National shoots in the late 60's. Big events in their time. Don't know how long before that they were run. 1 at Whiteman's Valley, 2 at Ohariu Valley.
