Etronx primers- reloading advice requested.

[chestnut ridge]

I have purchased a new Etronx in 22-250. At 520 it was cheap enough
to balance the Etronx primers at 15c each.
My question concerns seating the primer into the cartridge case.
Is there a special seating tool needed? What about seating depth
and pressure?

nope.

i have two, a .243 that I had rebarreled to 6mmXC and a 220 swift etronx.
I use a regular tool (forster's primer tool), and seat them to the same depth I would any other large rifle primer.

I'd love to hear how well your gun shoots, btw. I've been disappointed in the swift, but extremely pleased with my 6mmXC after having quite a bit of work done to it.

I'm in cookeville, btw.
