Primers

All Primers are NOT created equal!
Primers vary in diameter and burn rate. 209 primers are a Battery Cup design. They contain a primer cup, ignition compound, an anvil, and battery cup. Primers are struck by the firing pin to detonate the ignition compound that ignites the propellent that discharges the payload of the shotshell. It is DANGEROUS to mix reloading data for one specific load with another.
