Hated to break open a sealed up case, but had to check. Checked them against CCI 200. I'll be dipped if they aren't indeed slightly smaller. .0005-.001 smaller than the CCI according to my digital calipers.
Seated one in a case that had the primer pocket uniformed, can't say it seated noticeably easier. Am using a RCBS universal hand primer. If it wasn't for the measurement difference I can't say I'd notice. So I still don't know if they will need sealed or not.
One is alone in a land so vast, there is only the mountains, the wind, and the eyes of God.

I've bought new production Win WLRs and CCI-200's. CCI goes 0.211" dia and WLR goes 0.210.

I loaded some Win .338 cases today with Win magnum primers of fairly recent vintage. I prime with a RCBS bench mounted priming tool. They fit tight and required notably more pressure to seat than most. No problems when I fired them, but the load was fairly mild.

I still haven't figured out why someone would risk life, limb, and eyesight by gluing primers into their brass when they could order correct primers from Gunbroker (some sellers will even ship to Alaska).

Prarie_twatt,
That's is the funniest sht I've read from you to date. Life limb and injury, from a loose primer.
Have you ever experienced a handload where the primer pocket loosened up?
Holy sht, what a mangina, spinless fk you really are!
Since I go through 308 target ammo quite quickly, I'll have all of the 1000 308 target bullets shot up soon (primers sealed in loctite 680).
I'll report back on "life, limb and injury" Holy sht, I'll be laughing for DAYS. Thanks.

Yes, leaky/blown primers can and have caused life altering injuries. Warning about the situation might save someone else who deserves to keep their body parts intact.

I'm not the guy who tried gluing in his primers.

I've used a bunch of WLR and WSR primers over the years and haven't had any problems. I did have some of the ones known for piercing a few years back. I contacted Winchester and they told me to send them in and they'd replace them, which they promptly did.

I'm not the guy who tried gluing in his primers. Judging by your other posts, you couldnt handle a single grain of sand on yer clit. It'd be too dangerous. Primer sealants come in 5 gallon buckets and 55 gallon drums. Used to seal millions of rounds of ammo. You make zero fking sense, as usual.
