Large rifle primers are a ghost again!

I probably got 10-12 notices last week that online sources (Brownells, Powder Valley, Precision, Natchez) had them in stock. So, they seem to be getting easier to find (online).

Thanks.
I received some notices about brands other than Winchester.
I’m just being too picky I suppose.

Prior to this morning this bullet has always been shot using Federal 209A primers. Ignition has been perfect, and the Bestill breech plug used has been 100% blow by free.

This morning it was decided to try the Remington STS primer just to satisfy a little curiosity. Because the STS primers are so much shorter shooting them requires a longer breech plug be installed in the Omega rifle. A Bestill plug cut to length just for the STS primer was utilized; the photo shows there was zero blow by.

Five shots were made at the top target.











The STS primer works good.

I would say the sts primer works just fine!
Would also say shooter works just fine also!
Good shooting!

Was the wind blowing Ron? Looks like quite a bit of horizontal dispersion.

Jerk shooter jerked the trigger whilst making the shot furthest right. The other four shots are sub moa. There was a light breeze, but not much. The jerk jerked.
