Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. As an added surprise to my gift, he also gave me approximately 500 old Remington shot shells....the ones with the fiber wads in the bases which are what the 157 primers were made for. Using a flashlight, it appears all the bases are in great shape. I have not loaded any of these in several decades but still have my Lyman book from the early 70's and was even able to find my notes and info from then which surprised the hell out of me! So, I now have a use for these 157's! Amazing what we forget sometimes.
