Reeder Custom Guns - AARGH! When did Federal switch to small primers

on 45 ball ammo. I've already been avoiding Blazer Brass. Any others that have switched to small primers in the last year?

decision on their part. It has been done for a few years now. Federal, CCI, and a couple of other companies were all owned by ATK and it was a company wide decision. But only for their GREEN ammo. We go thru several hundred rounds a week test firing the custom guns and when I tumble the ammo to reload it I set the small primer ammo aside and when I get a couple hundred I switch the Dillon to small primer and load them. It is a pain but don't throw them away. You can always load them on a rainy/snowy winter day

Both with number 2 shell holders. I use the large priming tool first, but when the primer doesnt seat, i switch to the small one and seperate the cases then. Or set the ones that dont seat aside and prime with the small primer setup later.
I’m too lazy to switch a Dillon over.

Federal did it for their NO LEAD ammo. Total BS

I have more Dillons than any sane man should, so it's

Tennis elbow??

Should that be in Guinness???
