PRIMER PUNCTURED BY FIRING PIN

[Paul Harm]

I just bought a Grade 3 1873 Remington hammer lifter and shot a round of SC's. Both barrels pierced the Cheddite primers every time. This is a first. So I load up a 100 Federal papers with Federal primers. Bada boom, bada bing, it solved everything. No pierced primers. Let's see, I have 8000 Cheddites, 400 Federals, and 400 Winchester primers. Once the Cheddites are used up I may go to just Winchester or Federal primers. There's about a $25/5000 difference in price. Or just buy 1K of the Federals.
