    Magnum Imports has plenty according to his website. Email him, send him a TM question (Wchapman) or PM him (magimps)

    Unlike , others here on this site , I have 1) No axe to grind & 2 ) have no hidden agenda , ie like I sell a make of primer , and am dising the others .

    Had 2 brand new rifles buggered by Fed small rifle primers , so I chose not to use them at ALL .

    I use Fed LR Magnum match , no problems so far , and will continue in 300WM & 338LM .

    As to the comment as to switching out primers and not working up from scratch , the load I swapped was a mild load , and I saw no need to reduce that .

    My std primer for 308 is CCI BR2 , very happy with it , and will keep using it .

    Also , just to be clear , I have a number of mates that shoot a lot , and have never had any trouble with Win primers .

    Be aware that some people on this forum , are maybe less than truthful ( ie lie ) , if it furthers there business interests .

    YEAP , you guessed IT , I donot sell Win primers or CCI primers or Russian primers , OR any primers at all , amagine that .

    .

    Later Chris

    Nor do I Chris. I just have a severely munted bolt face caused by multiple failures with Winchester Primers and I have lost the enjoyment of using my rifle of 5 months and counting.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Just got some more Fed lr primers so decided to have a compare in sizes.Expurts can decide if this is a contributing factor for falling out and popping after fireing and the other posted results. These are for my 260 lapua cases,i measeured random ones from both packets and they all came up with the same result.Ive also got batch numbers and if any one wants these at your own risk then there yours other wise there getting dumped down an offal hole.

    If your primers are falling out I suspect you've hurt the brass.
    As for the primers before yet another person destroys a bolt stick em in the offal hole mate best place for them

    I wasn't suggesting they are.
    Have you swaged the primer pockets?

    I've noticed loose primer pockets after around four firings (Lapua Brass - loads are warnish).

    I use this to clean the primer pockets out - https://www.google.co.nz/search?q=sw...er%3B880%3B660

    Likely cause?
