I recently bought a box, which had originally housed 50 pre-war Winchester .357 magnum cartridges, from a young lady. She asked me if I needed any ammunition to go with it and I replied that I thought that would be fitting. She went through her drawers and came up with about 20 cartridges of .357 magnum. They were not all of Winchester make as about 6 were from the Western Cartridge outfit. They all had been reloaded with a jacketed soft point bullet but one thing caught my eye as I studied the other end. One (only one) of the cartridges with the Western Super X headstamp had a large primer inserted. Odd in that earlier in this thread no one had claimed to be in possession of any pre-war (or post-war)
WESTERN .357 magnum cartridges fitted for a large primer. I thought I would post a pic with comparison cartridges flanking it in case it would be of interest. Respectfully submitted.
