Lots of brands of primers will go bang when my Vaq hammers fall on the relatively small number of .38s and .357s I shoot. However, Mama don't shoot nothin but .38s and her lightened BH and Sheriff's Model Vaq hammer springs call for Federal Small Pistol primers.
Mama's primer cupboard was growing bare, when she told me a package arrived yesterday. I'm happy to report that parcel contained 20,000 Fed SPs.
Can't even remember for sure when I ordered'em. Seems like Jan. or Feb. '09. Glad Powder Valley remembered and UPS delivered.
$27.55 per thousand to our door.
Mama's happy; you know the rest of the story.
