A well-known vendor advertized "7.62 military primers" on their site. I'm interested in getting some, but they haven't answered my queries. I got to thinking what is a military primer? Is it different dimensionally or physically (harder than normal?)
Just for fun, I pulled primers from a half dozen spent once-fired LC brass and measured their diameters. All were 0.207". Then measured a bunch of WIN LR primers. All were 0.210". So are these 7.62 military primers going to seat properly in LC cases that have had their primer pockets swaged?
