I seem to have accumulated about 2,000 smaller shotshell primers. Aside from locating older hulls to use them in would a Williams primer pocket peener tighten up modern hulls enough to use them?

Even a peened primer pocket would leak gas. Do like I do. Put them on a shelf in the loading room and wait for 1960 to come back.

The only way to use them is the old hulls. There are enough of them and good data in the older Lyman books to make it a safe and enjoyable effort.(IMHO) I really like the old 16ga loads with 57/157 primers and 571 powder with Remington Sure Shot cases. Besides they look nice. There is even an older ruby red Remington hull that really looks great. The challenge is half the fun.

Some Continental European cases still take that size. Worth hanging onto but 2,000 will take some time to use up. Lagopus.....

They fit the eight gauge industrial hulls that most eight gauge shooters use. I have plenty of 57 primers to keep me in eight gauge reloads for a lifetime plus a few years.

Guess I'll have to look for some old 16 gauge Remington hulls, I know they do show up; then dig out my old Lyman books. Maybe I can locate some other 8 gauge shooters too.
Thanks guys.

True, they will fit the Remington Industrials (goodness knows why they have a different size) I ream out and use standard size ones. Maybe some 6 bore loader may make an offer. Lagopus.....

57 fit some brass cases, I sold a lot of 10 bore brass and 57 primers were required for Alcan.

lagopus, many modern 8 gauge industrial hulls don't have a different size primer pocket, but they do have an extra layer of brass over the base and into the pocket that makes the pocket smaller and the base of the hull bigger to prevent those three ounce industrial boomers from being used in old duck guns. I don't ream out the primer pockets on my paper Winchesters, I just peel the second layer of brass away.

Eightbore, how do you manage to do that? I have a large stock of used Remington ones and pass them through a re-size die that I had made. I have some Winchester cases but find that the re-sizer does not make them fit for some reason. I have not gone into why in detail. As I have several hundred of these Winchester ones and would like them for use with black powder can you tell me how you peel the outer layer away? Such a process would prove most useful. Thanks. Lagopus.....
