Cheers chris does look different! Lee i have no idea why they are like this,also like this is the 4.7 seperate loading case and probably others although the earlier type primer was a strange affair.There were some posts on here ages ago,though dont know where!Still no clearer on the primers correctness for this case.Tig:tinysmile_fatgrin_t.

Lee there were a couple at Beltring this year. Now you know what you're looking for you'll probably spot them.

primer

Never seen a Naval sticky out primer like yours, all mine (3) are the old type with knurled rim and small internal extension, Have seen a 1940's one and that was as the old type from memory. It just so happens that I have a shot, practice nice condition for trade, would have to look at it for date etc. 2pr
