I have a few thousand CCI209's a few thousand WIN209's and almost a full 5000 sleeve of Remington 209STS primers . I tend to use whatever is OLDEST first and go from there .

I keep a few hundred CCI209M's but they're for my two inline smokepoles .

Sorry if my question moves us off topic, but I'd like to know more about Armbruster's pressure testing. Anyone have his address and any more information?
