    Anvil Conversions specified CCI 209 primers, but being cheap I bought Fiocchi instead, and they did not quite fit in the primer holes. Out of a hundred only twelve of them fit without binding the cylinder.

    The shots I did get off were ok for the first time, but hopefully I will do better with the correct primers.

    Load is 4.3 grains of Herco.

    Cheers.Doug

    Hmmm, that's the equivalent of 56gr of FFFg. Brave man indeed, even just once..

    And I thought 30gr of Triple 7 FFFG was a big bang.
