Primer Tube Blue Tip???
Quote from Reloader on October 28, 2020, 3:43 pmI’m in the process of dusting off my 650, and found some primer tubes, one large, one small, with a blue plastic tip on the end which typically has nothing but a keeper pin used to release the primers. Any idea why these tubes have these blue plastic tips?
Tried to post a pic was unable.
Thanks! Mike

Thoughts?
