SA Friday Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 They are hard as rocks. They will make a CCI seem soft. The are made to withstand being used in belt fet machine guns and free floating firing pins, and cook offs etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronhonda Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 so would they work in a limited or open gun without causing problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SA Friday Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Never tried them, but I would suspect they are not the best choice for any lightly springed comptetition gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron, as fast as some of your doubles are, Id suspect you finally found a primer thats not so sensitive to your dexterity! Oh and make sure its in a double action only gun, especially if your shooting at a swinger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
