Is that the brand? Only time I've ever seen that as applied to primers referred to, Heavy Metal Free primers as a descriptive term. If that's the case, I don't know anyone offering them any more as a reloading component although, PMC did for a while.

yes, that is the brand as far as i can tell from the box.

though there is a circle with a with a vertical line down the center transposed over a letter 'M'.
the box is white with green header which says "NEW HEAVY METAL FREE"
non-corrosive primers. then the circle logo and HMF in a retangle.

haven't used them yet still waiting on bullets.

Those sound like the Wolf/Pmc primers.

The Murom brand is a new one on me. From the descriptions, sounds very similar to domestic "clean" primers such as those used by Winchester in their WinClean line or Federal, American Eagle & CCI's N/T's. I don't know what (if any) effects on load data but I've shot most of the domestic brands and other than very clean brass after shooting, I detect no differences.
