#57 primers

[Grouser]

I just bought 1000 rounds of Remington Shur Shot 16 ga shells. They are about 15 years old but in excellent condition & work well. The hulls seem like they would be good reloaders. The primers are the # 57's --- smaller than 209's. Anyone know if 57's or CCI 157's are available? Anyone have any they might want to part with?
Thanks!

HOWDY, good luck .Hope they were cheap.

I shoot a lot of 16 ga., and belong to the "16 ga. reloaders group" at 16ga.com I have not seen any modern data for loading your shells, the primers are obsolete. Enjoy shooting them, and dispose of the hulls.

Thanks, I also belong to the 116 reloaders group. I do have data to reload.
A fellow CGNer has offered me 400 #57,s -- waiting to hear back from him.
A 16 ga club member from theUS offered to trade me for them -- he must be sitting on a bunch of primers.
Cheers, John
