Federal has always been my favorite, but were hard to find for a long time. Thankfully, it seems like they are becoming more available. I'll not buy any more of the new (red/black/white box) Win primers. Yup, cci and feds only for me. Ideally feds that way it doesn't matter where they go, Single, striker, double action they all go bang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually she missed Kansas and wanted to go home. “There is no place like home” clicked her heels 3 times. Bam she was back in Kansas.

Dr. Phil Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) Yeah I knew that. Saw the movie. Would have been nice to bring 10K Federal SPP for Auntie Em though. Edited November 13, 2023 by Dr. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hueycrew Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 I've been looking for some Federal #100 SPP. Saw Miwall in this thread and bought what I needed. Mine came UPS. I had the opportunity to change the delivery location to a local UPS Store. Might have to do that next time. Thanks for the lead on primers! I like the Kansas talk - Lived in Dodge City for 3 years.

Nolan Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 (edited) Al Bundy's Dodge was really several different Plymouth Dusters. The show outlived at least 4 Dusters. https://youtu.be/_xM1H-tlnm8?si=-JWHrhpRxsZXgZMj&t=15 I grew up in Tribune, Kansas, 135 miles north and west of Dodge City. 2 hrs 15 minutes by google maps today, about an hour for the average Kansas farmer's pick up, before the 1974 gas crunch gave Kansas a speed limit. Pskys2 photos bring back some memories.....NOT! I can't remember shinola other than Kansas was a good place.......to be FROM.

Sniperboy Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 (edited) Well it looks like the thread has meandered elsewhere, but if anyone still cares about the original topic at hand, here's my bit of info to add to the timetable. Our club ordered a large batch of the red/white/black Winchester primers pre pandemic and they arrived around 2021. They were fine and lit off same as the previous Blue box. However shortly after 2021 I noticed that the Winchester white box 9mm ammo labelled "Target/Practice" were incredibly hard. Even harder than CCI ammo. My Glock that had no problem with win primers for years would not light off a single round. A CZ SP-01 with 11.5lb hammer spring had a high rate of failures too. In fact winchester said they would take back this ammo when a a complaint was sent. The newer batches of red/white/black primers, true to form were harder. Something definitely changed in the recent batches after 2021. Edited December 21, 2023 by Sniperboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winchester allowed me to return 7.62x39 ammo which did not ignite even with deep primer strikes, and actually reimbursed me more than I paid for it. https://www.winchester.com/Support/Customers/Product-Support It took a while to get the check ... maybe 8 weeks.

hueycrew Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Though this is a Revolver Forum. Fort Larned Kansas. My favorite National Historical Site in Kansas. It was a living history museum when I live there. Fort Riley is #2. I imagine at some point revolvers were involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
