    Unless they just gave you some inside knowledge what they said was totally incorrect. June 25 ammo kicks in. It's in THEIR website. However, my predicition is if the register doesn't populate at...

    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...

    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....

    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.
