Primer Brands
Quote from Reloader on March 7, 2013, 4:12 pmAfter reading a post about the shortage of primers on a local firearms bulletin board I spoke to Dillon about using Federal primers in my 650xl. I was told that they are softer and if I wasn't careful could set them off. Rather than take any chances I returned them. I have enough Winchester primers (LP) to last a little while.
I just saw some Wolf primers and wondered if they are less sensitive and safer to use in the progressive press. Is there any guide to the different primer brands as to which are more/less sensitive?
