Are these primers compatible with a .222 Remington or just AR 5.56/.223 ammo? Rob

Midway was limiting purchases to 1000 at a time. Hardly worth the hazmat charges unless you find some powder you need, and the pickins are mighty slim.
Brownell's will let you buy 2000 at a time. Not a helluva lot better but some...and they have a little powder to choose from. Might make it worth the expense.

Some shippers have refused to do it, but others will. I think they call it "overpacking" but I could be mistaken.

My friends rifle shoots factory ammo perfectly and never a misfire, but every other one of his handloads fails to fire. Maybe kingston can enlighten him.

Just wondering, did he get the primer seated all the way?
That does seem strange.
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

My friends rifle shoots factory ammo perfectly and never a misfire, but every other one of his handloads fails to fire. Maybe kingston can enlighten him. I see 2 potential problems. Failing to get the primers seated and over squeezing the cases down too far. I like to use the Hornady comparator to check my resized cases. I just picked one up about a year ago and I was really over working my brass squeezing it down too far. Each comparator is only about $20 and each bushing is $15. You will need an electronic caliper to measure the cases. Those can be had for around $40. It's a real eye opener. kwg

I ended up with 2 ( 100 pack) of them, in trading with a friend who wanted small pistol primers real bad...
I just ended up giving them to another friend, who wanted some primers for his AR...

I’m gonna be irritated to the 5th power if I have misfires. I’m going pig hunting Thursday. I better try some when I get there. I like my little bolt gun for riding around in Polaris.

Some 350 dies come with a roll crimp. If you roll crimp into a groove it will cause the headspace to be off and probably misfire.

Freind has a brick of those and 50% are misfires in his Savage Axis 350 Legend, fwiw. I've seen this before in a Savage Axis. He was chambered 25-06 brand new brass the rifle would not fire. Fired brass in a different chamber resized with the shoulder bumped and it fired just fine. If I remember right the shoulder difference was 12 - 15 thousands. It's kind of like that headspace was just a hair bit long. Never found any other explanation
