What Primers Are In Them?

OP - you might have to clarify a bit if you want a clear answer - I am aware of 7 mm Rem Mag cartridge. Is also a 7mm Win (Short) Mag. Is it possible that you have 7 mm Rem Mag cartridge, with Winchester brand brass?? If it was factory rounds that have been taken down, is probably the Winchester Large Rifle primer, which could be used as either a standard or magnum large rifle primer - if those brass were previously hand loaded, I do not know of any way to tell what they are - you would have to ask the reloader what he used to prime them with.

They are supposed to be Large rifle magnum by all my recollections. However, I would be reluctant to put powder on top of unknown primers. Kinda hard to work up a load with an unknown like that.

^ That is my thinking as well - I pulled down someone's hand loads - 7 mm Weatherby Magnum cartridges in Weatherby brand brass - two different colours of powder - three different bullet weights - no doubt it all made perfect sense to whomever - but I did not receive any notes or labels - those loaded rounds were mixed in with a bunch of fired brass. It was the brass that I wanted, so I ran the cartridges with unknown primers through my rifle and popped off those primers in my garage - no powder or bullet - I just wanted them fired off, so I could de-prime and insert known primers.
Over the years, I have bought new and previously fired brass with new primers installed - Sellers told me what those primers were - so I have been going with that.

The brass does not come from PMC with primers so where did you get the brass from ? RJ

It is not likely that PMC sold primed brass - although some makers did - maybe PMC did as well, but I have never seen any for sale. Is more likely that a previous owner had inserted primers into new brass - if you acquired the brass from other than a retail purchase.
As far as "virgin brass", they will need to be inspected closely to tell that they were not stainless pin wet tumbled - those previously fired brass look close to new. In my experience, is about the bottom of the primer pocket usually is the "tell" - and if primed, you are not going to see that.

I have to agree with RJ.
Would you mind telling us where you bought the primed brass ? Cause there should have been info at the seller about what primers are supplied.
Are the broken down rounds as others have asked ? To know what primers we need more information.
Do you have pictures of the brass? Containers? And primers ?

I don't think anyone thinks your a liar.
I personally have never had the opportunity to purchase pre primed brass.
I'm just a little confused now. I only think people want to help here.
Cheers, you take care, don't hurt yourself....

Not calling you a liar - just sayin you’re mistaken that PMC brass comes in already primed !
But you are Pretty Mouthy with your posting and maybe you should tone it down it down a Bit . RJ
