California's Central Coast Amid The Insanity
Within the next two to three weeks, I'll begin loading for a .223 Rem. Ruger American. The cartridge is new to me, and I have some primer questions.
I was given 500 Federal AR Gold Medal Match small rifle primers, but am not familiar with them.
1. Does the AR designation mean the cups are extra hard, like CCIs?
2. If so, would they present any ignition problems with a bolt rifle?
3. Or, are they just harder than Federal's regular, and soft, cups?
Thanks,
Michael
