..Winchester WLPs. The problems I had (I believe) were my own fault in not seating the primers correctly.

The CCIs were on the same shelf with the Winchesters. Only reason I bought the Winchesters is that I happened to have thumbed through a reloading guide which only referenced Winchester Primers.

The LGS sells Winchesters at 3.00 a hundred and gives ten percent off so I will continue to try them.

It is entirely possible that had I used a different primer, I might have had fewer problems because it is possible that other primers are more forgiving.

Now that I still have the Auto-Primer, I will try ti and keep tack of the rounds I use the Auto-Primer for and which I use the press mounted primer.

I have been away for a week and so I have not even caste the slugs for my next shooting day.

I did get the Lee Hardness Test set. I got the idea now and we shall see how that works too.
