Anyone know anything about these? I believe they were made by a company in Finland, but can’t find anything on them. Really would like to know what size and kind of primer. Looks to be a boxer type primer.

| Looks like a large rifle primer. Have you measured it for comparison? Is the shell brass or paper? If it is a brass hull a large rifle primer could be used with the appropriate load recipes. |

| Yes sir, I de primed one and measured. It measures .250. I don’t have any large riffle primers at this time to compare. I’m going to look for some local tomorrow, not sure I will have any luck. They are brass 2 1/2 |

| Thanks win7. If they fit I will find some. I drilled one out last night for a 209 primer. Still waiting on more fiber wads. Not sure it’s gonna work but they were free so not out much. |

Silverbowff:
I seen this yesterday doing some research, the primers that are in the hulls seem to be larger, not sure if they are primers from Finland or not. I was hopeful that someone from across the pond would chime in. |

| brass hulls are usually primed with large pistol primers not rifle. |
