If the LRP primers don't fit flush the first time, you can just hammer them in. :lol:

Or just file a little bit off the open end of each one. :P

 

NO! Don't do this! It's a joke!!!

Yesterday I loaded a dozen or so LRP in 45 Colt brass.  I used 8 different brass manufactures.  All of them allowed the cylinders to spin freely in my New Vaqueros.

I did make sure the primer pockets were clean.

The primers were not proud in the casing, flush is what I'd say.

This morning I test fired them, worked like a charm!

I used the same Cowboy load I've been using for years.

 

Round 'em up!

what was the brand on your lrps.

Should I use a brass hammer?

Howdy Taos: there is no legal problem getting Large or small pistol primers or rifle primers in Canada.

Stock-outs are another matter.

I'll have to try a few LRPs in my .45 Colt loads to see what results I get with them in Starline, Winchester and Remington cases since I have several thousand LRPs I picked up when LeBaron went out of business.

I did learn my excess Small Rifle Primers could be used in my pistol cases, so I'll have to load some 9mm and .38spl. for a trial.

Good luck and think Cowboy Action Shooting for 2021!
