i bought some old but new best remington brass shells from a gun dealer awhile back..i asked what kind of primer worked in these brass shells he said small pistol primers they worked fine..found out even a lot of the old winchester brass shells even would except the small pistol primers...i loaded up some of these old winchester shells that my dad had for over 60 years and i bet they aint been shot in over a 100 years...i used reddot powder and 1 1/8 ounce lead shot they shot really well...i even loaded up a brass 8 ga winchester hull with those small pistol primers and shot it....lots of fun loading brass hulls....useding tight wads in the hulls and did not glue them and they shot well...but would recommend glueing the top wad in hunting loads....charlie
