STARLINE BRASS 500 S&W 50PK
500 S&W Mag Brass (Large Rifle
Primer), OAL 1.616 - 1.622
>>The Initial run of 500 S&W
Mag (R) cases was built to use
large pistol primer per Smith
& Wesson and Cor-bon
specifications. On July 28,
2003,
Smith & Wesson and Cor-bon
changed specification of
primer pocket to be large
rifle. Rifle primers are same
diameter as pistol except they
are
approximately .006" taller.
This was done to prevent
primer from being pierced by
firing pin when loaded with
max loads and heavy bullets
(bullets over 400 grains). It
was determined that hole in
primer allowed pressure to
damage firing pin and bushing,
kind of like a cutting torch
and the harder cup of a rifle
primer will prevent
occurrence. All cases sold by
Starline, Inc. after July 28,
2003, will contain a large
rifle primer
pocket to accept a large rifle
primer. Hodgdon Powder has
generated load data which
recommends using Win. Large
Rifle Primers.
>>Cor-bon has also tested and
recommends CCI 250 primers
(Magnum Large Rifle). Our new
cases will have an "R" after
the "Mag" on head stamp to
signify
rifle pocket. If you have
previously purchased 500 cases
without "R" on head stamp and
wish to modify, you can use a
large rifle pocket uniformer
to
deepen primer pocket to accept
large rifle primers by
deepening pocket approximately
.006". This will not affect
integrity of case. For
concerns
regarding situation contact
Smith & Wesson or Cor-bon as
they designed case and
subsequently changed it.
