I must be livin' right! I got some primers! but some are odd.

[Andy Griffith]

Not that I needed too many primers, but I received some that I might use someday...

A friend that knows me knew I shoot and reload, and he gave me the following:

(200) Winchester #8 1/2 Large rifle
(200) CCI #12 Large pistol
(200) S&W/Alcan "Max-Fire" small pistol
(100) Federal #150's
(100) Remington #6 1/2's
and finally, some I'm not familiar with-
(100) Remington No. 69 shotshell primers

If I am correct, the #69's are/were used in old Remington sub-gauge hulls (28 gauge and .410 bore). I never reloaded shotshells and never paid attention when I was younger, or I would have remembered.

You are right, no shells made today that will use those.
