No prob.
Have had good results with that primer too.

The charge depends on the brass.
Remingtons handle 13, Winchester/WCC military brass 12.5.

But, Lil Gun did not compress well.
In those rounds, Lil Gun gets more velocity with less pressure, due to a "lower and longer peak on the pressure curve".
When I later saw charts of the pressure curve, it became very clear what I was told was true.
I'd look for another cause of your problem.
Please keep us informed.

Mark,

just noticing this post of yours from November of last year...

" Calling the manufacturer".... you got a few small compliments for doing so... which makes sense to me...

However I think back to when I called Sierra after having a failure to open up, on one of the new GameKing Plastic Tip bullets.

Bet ya I got flamed for at least a 100 pages.. and occasionally there is one or two of those clowns that still like to bring up the flaming again and again.

To me it makes common sense to call the manufacturer for an opinion or explanation or advise.. they made the product...

on the other hand, I gather a lot of other campfire heroes think you need to turn in your man card, if you contact the factory techs for some info..

once again, there are people who use their head and think.. and those that don't... the Campfire has more of the latter, than the former...

hope this finds you and the Warden doing well.. please give Joy a Hug from me and Judie...

I have Remington brass for mine. Found some federal small pistol magnum primers yesterday. I also bought a few new Ruger 77/17 hornet mags, they are so much better at feeding the khornet. Going to load some up shortly as we are getting another blast of snow… curious as to how some of the above posts loading over 13g with 40g and 45g bullets
