	Mentioned some time ago my CPA's are set up for Pistol primers. Light mainspring tension and Speed hammers. However no Pistol primers but plenty of Rifle's on hand. Had one at the range yesterday practice using CCI large rifle magnums, 4759 & fixed loads. Sure enough many misfires, I cranked the strain screw down tight and misfires went away. I had expected the lighter hammer would be a problem but not so. It's harder to cock but that's what it is. Most of my loads have had to be changed due to component shortages Boats

	boats; The CPA will fire small rifle primers much better than large rifle primers, wonder why. If you have some 30 American brass you might try some small rifle primers and see if you get the same results. Will you be at Frog's match later this month. leadball

	Leadball will be there for sure. I thought about getting a set of small pocket cases. That along with strong and light hammer tension will just about cover any primer. Wonder if we can get one to pop musket caps. Boats
