Can anyone tell me about CCI #257 primers? I found a couple of boxes of these with my Federal 209A primers I use for Federal papers. I think the box says "for Remington shotshells".
I cannot find anything on the CCI website or on Hodgdons.
Thanks guys. I will measure them when I get home. In my 41 years of reloading, I have only reloaded AA hulls (old style)and Federal papers - except some STS in the last two years. Thought these primers were for the Fed papers, but I cannot remember. You guys are correct - they are old as I have had them for longer than I can remember.
Stl Flyn - that is exactly what I have. I double checked as I was originally going from memory. They are CCI #157. I measured them - they taper from about .225 up to .230. My Win209 taper.240-.246. The CCI primer would probably be too loose.
I have no shells for them. I guess I will just take them to the club and give them to someone that can use them. I'll measure the Federal 209s but assume they will be about the same as the Winchester.
