Semi-auto Bren piercing primers - any solutions?

[dcollector]

Thanks Jim, this was 100% new manufacture factory Seller & Bellot ammo.

Yes, I posted in several forums on this question, as I really don't want to damage the Bren, apparently you are correct S&B are hot loads with weak primers.
I'm going to run some WWII Brit through it, and some PPU next week, heat that old barrel up and see what happens.

Thanks.

WWII Brit through it, and some PPU next week,

Those should work fine if the WW2 ammo fires when it should. CCI makes military thickness primers I think...but I expect you just want to shoot factory. As for hurting a Bren, I loaded an old reload into an Inglis 8mm once...another man's gun and his cheap ammo gatherings...and when it detonated the mag turned into a tube launching the base and spring. The case was destroyed, the gun was unhurt. Functioned well as if nothing happened. Peter L will be able to give us some sage advise here if he sees this post.
