"And then there was ammo manufactured in Canada, nothing made in Canada for the military used corrosive primers."
U.S military ammo and ammo made in Canada. We loaded 8mm57 ammo in this country. If I found Ammo made in Canada and or 8mm57 made in this country I would add both to the collection.
And then there is the assumption it is the primer that causes delay fire. I do not assume, (one more time) I purchased a lot of cheap ammo with the sole purpose of pulling it down for the bullets and powder. I took a few rounds to the range to test fire. The ammo was some ugly stuff; the scariest part was the delay fire. When I pulled the bullets and started dumping the powder I found the powder in the base of the case caked. The primers worked but it took a little time to get the powder going, Once the burn was through the cake things picked up.
Scary part? Pull the trigger, bust the primer and then open the bolt about the time the caked powder burned through to the loose powder.
And then there were cases with caked powder behind the bullet, the primers were good, the powder in front of the primer would burn but the caked powder would be an obstruction. I shook all of the cases, if I did not feel powder moving I did not fire the round.
I find nothing entertaining about pulling the trigger and not know what is about to happen.
It was about this time I called Hornady about my plans to pull down the ammo. They convinced me I had to have their cam lock bullet puller. I spent more time waiting for parts than I did using it. About the third time I called Hornady about their cam lock puller needing repairs they accused me of making too many mistakes. That is not something that can be worked out on the phone so I went for a visit. During the visit they said they had a problem with a contractor and heat treating; I ask them to tell me where they were located and while I was there I could go by and talk them.
And then: they explained to me they changed contractors. I received more parts for the cam lock in the mail, I added the new parts to the other new parts that were wore out and then, I decided I could talk about having the cam lock but using it was something else.
