Shotshell primers are hard to find in Sweden. In a country with a few hundred thousand shotguns amongst 9 million people, we are still precious few that reload shotshells. Practice ammo is dirt cheap so it doesn't pay to reload. Reloading shotshells is for performance and tweaking only.

So, the effect is that no gun shops sell shotshell primers. They can be bought via mail but the hazardous shipping fees are just ridiculous. And delivery time... one can surely assume that the dealers do not carry any stocks but wait for a number of orders to accumulate, then they import... Thios can take months.

So, a bag of primers isn't someting one would throw away. I laid my hands on a set of primers from a gun shop that I suspect had bought them from a shotshell company in Sweden. They're not in their original boxes, but in a plastic bag in a box filled with styrofoam. But still, you don't throw away shotshell primers in Sweden.

Still, I would bet a case of beer that this is Cheddite or Fiocchi, since these are the sole suppliers to this shotshell manufacturer. But what type? Any help would be appreciated.

Doesn't look like the Fiocchi's we load in the US (all nickel colored). HTH, Dutch.

That looks like a Cheddite primer .
There is 2 , I am not sure witch one it is .
