20 gauge brass cases?

Steve499 · January 14, 2005, 12:04 PM

Does any company offer brass cases in 20 gauge which take a regular shotgun primer? I've come across an old one here and there but all I've seen so far needed a primer larger than anything offered these days.

you might check with the "Old Western Scrounger" as he tends to carry some oddball stuff at times

Both Midway and Graf & Sons carry them. The brand name is Magnatech or something close. They use either large rifle or large pistol primers rather than shotgun primers, though. Nothing wrong with that and it's a sizeable savings in reloading. Unfortunately, they are imports and sometimes out of stock between shipments.
