209 Primer Length Chart

[Busta]

I have compiled some information, and went as far as to put it into an Excel Spread Sheet/Chart, but I'll be darned if I can get it formatted to be able to post it here. I tried several things, but will need to be able to make it a pdf or something that is compatable, and I am a dummy, so there you have it. Sorry!

I will post some of the results, but will spare you the individual measurements, and just post the high/low/average. I measured 10 random primers from each box, this will give you an average from this size sample, but measureing 10 different primers from the same box could give you different results overall. There is just too much variation to make a 10 piece sample tell the whole story. This could be helpful in finding the right average length primer for your breech plug/rifle. All measurements are in inches to the nearest .0005".
