Dogs Afield has my primers on backorder for about 2 weeks . The charge just showed up on the account , and I see on their website it is an in stock item . Paid $49 for a thousand at a gunshow ,Dogs Afield at $40.95 including shipping charge.Now if I could just find .308 for my deer rifle regards.......
Wow 40 bucks we just paid 16.99 percent 1000.
Where was that? I have never paid less than $26 a 1000. Dogsafield has the best price and no hazmat fee that I could find online.Quote:

Again, my memory is not what it used to be.
The period in front of the 209 got me to wondering. What does the 209 mean? I have been buying these primers forever but if I ever knew what the 209 meant, I have forgotten.

209 now adays has NOTHING to do with measure outside diameter.
209 primers actually measur APPROXIMATLY .243 -.244 orso.
What the .209 referres to is the diameter of the "batter Cup" inside the primer.
You use to be able to buy a tool from Herters to make your own primer cups out of beer cans and put in a "cap" and reinstall it in the battery cup.
Those caps were toxic and corrosive
A Long LONG time ago, you could actually reload your PRIMERS.
That tool was made for a .209 diameter battery cup. The battery cup measures .209
If you take apart a FIRED 209 Primer,, you will find the battery cup measures Approx 209 thousanths in diameter. or .209
Gooser
I got a machinist friend to make me some inserts to allow me to use .209 primers in a .32 revolver. We were surprised when we measured the O.D. and saw they weren't .209.
