Another Question

[acudaowner]

I guess the question is is there any difference between large rifle box primer and just large rifle primers ?
these https://fedarm.com/product/primers-boxer-lr/
and say federal 210 large rifle primers ?

If speaking to one brand and different qualities such as CCI200 Vs BR-2 or Fed 210 vs 210m . I have allways understood differences to be only quality control and steps taken with the match primers as well as more experienced personell assembling them.
If you need them and can find them i would buy them seeing how shit is right now.
I doubt you will notice much if any difference.

Sounds like they are trying to make it sound like they are quality and distance themselves from crappier ammo with some fancy word play. Looks like a standard primer with horrific pricing.

Dig a little googling and its some russian something or other where they also have the crappy berdan stuff to worry about I guess.

I dont think i have ever owned or shot any Berdan but i dont have or shoot any old Mauser or military stuff.
Edit: now that i think about that may have been what broke the stem in my old 30-06 Pacific Durachrome die

Most of the cheap(?) russian ammo is berdan primed rendering it practically non-reloadable. This includes Wolf, the various Bear varieties, etc. Most all US, NATO, etc ammo is boxer primed and reloadable through normal procedures. Virtually all available primers for reloading metallic ammunition are boxer-type primers.
