Used in Winchester Model 70 Bull Gun rifles for long-distance target shooting at Camp Perry matches from 1936 to 1971(?).

0.209" (5.31 mm) diameter primers for shotgun shells and modern inline muzzleloaders, using a Boxer-type primer factory-assembled inside a tapered, flanged brass cup. 0.210" (5.33 mm) diameter large rifle primers, and a thinner or softer metal cup large pistol version for use with lower pressure loadings in weapons with light firing pin impact.
