Magtech primers

#1 Post by Pete »

Anyone using these? Any idea of cup thickness? I'm trying to find how they compare to, say, KVB-223M, or CCI 450 Mag.
In the off chance they start to show up again before anything else.......

Thanks Graham, I'm told they're favoured by 6.5 Creedmore fans, so it would seem they're pretty much as good as KVB-223M.
