Shipping weight of 1000 Winchester Primers is 1.25Lbs....

So....15Kg of primers is around 25,000 primers........Sounds a lot but I use around 5,000 38s a year alone.

And whilst on the subject of our holding of ammo parts...us hunters all know that expanding 'heads' are counted in with our holding of live ammo.
