Pistol Primers

[Semtav]

Round 3
10 shot groups

#1 95 gr Swiss FG GM210M changed to 16-1 alloy

#2 90 gr Swiss 1.5 FG GM155M changed to 16-1 alloy, over primer wad

#3 #1 with overprimer wad

Group #1 shot a very solid 2"H X 1 3/4 V even group. Last shell had to be cammed in and shot 1/2 inch high

Group #2 shot a very solid 3/4" H X 1/2" V thru 4 shots. Then the wheels fell off. shot 5 was 3" right (no way I jerked that bad) and high, shot 6 was 3" left shot 7 was half way back to the group and 8 was back in the group with 9 and 10 being just a touch out of the group at 10 o'clock.

Group 3 was a shotgun pattern and confirmed what I thought was going on.
Temp was 30 deg with spitting snow. somewhere my fouling control failed and a couple brass at shots 5-7 on the second group had curled lips. Plus leading started.

altho I was cleaning between groups, it was just a couple wet followed by a couple dry and a lube.

If I can get thru a whole group without things going south, I think these Pistol Primers will really shine.
