• Clean Burning: Minimizes fouling in the primer pocket, making reloading cleaner and more efficient.

• Precision-Manufactured: Federal’s rigorous quality control ensures consistent performance from primer to primer.

Recommended Uses

Federal No. 200 primers are ideal for:

• Magnum pistol cartridges (.357 Magnum, .327 Federal Magnum, .32 H&R Magnum)

• Reloaders looking to ignite ball or other slower-burning powders

• Conditions requiring more consistent pressure and ignition, such as cold-weather shooting

Note: Do not use magnum primers in place of standard small pistol primers unless your load data specifically calls for it. Doing so may result in unsafe pressures.

Reloading Considerations

• Always refer to a reputable reloading manual (e.g., Hornady, Lyman, or Speer) for recipes and safety.

• Magnum primers are hotter than standard primers; substituting them without adjusting your powder load may lead to overpressure.

• Seat primers to the correct depth—flush or slightly below the case head—to ensure proper function.

---

Storage & Handling

• Store in a cool, dry location away from heat or open flames.

• Avoid storing large quantities in the same place to reduce risk in case of accidental ignition.

• Follow all local laws and regulations regarding the storage and transport of primers.

Safety Disclaimer

Primers are explosive components and must be handled with care. Always wear eye protection when reloading, and never attempt to modify or disassemble primers. Keep out of reach of children.
