Re: Alfa .357 starting out
I just wanted to know the reason why not to use them. I have a lot of them!! So would be good if they can be used, but If not hey ho. I am certainly not going to try it just for the fun of it!

Re: Alfa .357 starting out
Well I have decided CCI 209 primers are not ideal for this revolver! Anyone care to suggest some others that I can try?

Re: Alfa .357 starting out
We have an Alfa 6" only used it a couple of times so maybe 100 shots fired. Alan Westlake when we bought it new said only use Cheddite CX50 209's & we have not had one issue. We also use the round nose 148gr bullets he sells. (one or two have been slightly over sized but still fitted in the cylinder)

Re: Alfa .357 starting out
Thanks will have a look at those. The CCI 209 magnums fit perfectly and seem to dry cycle fine but as there is no guidance on them I am not going to use them.
Thus I bought 5 packs of standard 209s.... and they don't work. LOL.
