Pierced primer

[Richard B. Hoover]

John,

Thanks for the info. Can you tell us which factory shells probably have these primers?

The thin metal in the cheap cheddite primer is probably the culprit. I have never had this happen with a Win or CCI primer. Rob has shown that a pierced primer can result in disaster. With the extreme rise in the cost of shot and powder I am reloading less and buying factory shells more. I would not want to take a chance with these primers in even an 1100. Only a small splinter of a stock can take out an eye.
