RWS 5333 primers
I am after some RWS 5333 primers for a project, has anyone seen them here in the UK?

Have you tried here? http://www.ruag.co.uk/categories/29-rws
If they don't have them, they might be able to get them for you.

P.s. I have 1000 berdan No.81 primers with me to sell at the Trafalgar - they should stop you going cap in hand for them!!!

They're just a Large Rifle Magnum boxer primer, I've tried them but prefer the Federal GM 215Ms which are easier to obtain.
Re: RWS 5333 primers
Now that I have some 170 Lock base again I thought I would continue my quest to build the Lapua 170 HPS .308 factory loads which use RWS5333 primers along with 43,7grains of Bofors RP11 which is actually quite close to N540 for burn characteristics.
Standeasy, I agree finding 215Ms is going to be a lot easier.
