    How do my primers look? (updated 7/29)

    Re: How do my primers look? First time priming... they look just fine. Throw some powder in them and get to shooting. You need to pay attention to the primers after the shot since you will be able to tell if you are pushing them a little to hard. Good luck and enjoy Hog
