cuzinvinny Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I'm missing something here. Federal and CCI primers are silver, Winchester are gold. The only colored primers I have seen are the red or green primers on S&B brass, and the primers that people color to identify their brass.

cuzinvinny Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Hey, I learned something new today. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks. CCI LRP = yellow Federal SPP = green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngeyes Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Roses are red Violets are blue What was the question again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 To add something useful, the color on Tula Large Pistol primers is sort of a faded pink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polizei1 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Epic thread. I assume you're talking about the color of the anvil? If so, why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Hayden Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Epic thread. I assume you're talking about the color of the anvil? If so, why? It's nice if you filla primer tube.. then forget which ones they were supposed to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngeyes Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Yep. It's green. That there is a Winchester primer all right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxshooter Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Is there going to be a test on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Actually, it's the color of the priming compound, behind the anvil. Yes, test @ 11:00 !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngeyes Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Are you sure this is the best way to identify a primer?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Only if you have X-Ray vision !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polizei1 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Lol you guys are a riot. Hint: If you smack the primer hard enough, it turns black, like magic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Seriously? I go to the range all afternoon to try to learn something truly useful and come home to this?! What's next identifying powder by color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin c Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Actually, if you look closely at Hodgdon Clays, you can see it has little yellow rings mixed into the powder flakes that are supposedly unique as an identifier... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh, but here is the test. If I gave you a mason jar full of it with no labels would you trust enough to just load it up and shoot it as clays?

kevin c Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) Ya got me there. Interestingly enough, I'd be willing to put any appropriately sized primer into my own PISTOL practice round (my practice ammo is 9mm minor and well within published load specs for the powders I use). After all, I don't know of any published load book that specifies a particular primer, granted that it is expected to use small pistol for small pistol, etc.. It might not be optimal, but I don't see it as dangerous - just something I'd accept, like mixed brass. Match ammo and major are different stories, though, definitely, and I would not recommend this to anybody else as a safe practice, just what I personally am willing to consider doing.

D.Hayden Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Kevin.. you need to start shooting 3 Gun! lol it's more important for rifle shooters.. not to use a pistol primer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin c Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) Yeah, that's true - should have specified for me and my pistol only, and done yourself at your own risk, of course. Duly edited. Edited March 30, 2013 by kevin c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngeyes Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Even if we finally get a color chart on these primers, how will colorblind shooters be able to use it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 By texture of course. CCI and federals are much smoother than winchesters. But of course blind reloaders won't be able to see the yellow specks in clays. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
