Difference between Rem 1 1/2 and 5 1/2

[x10]

Looking at Remington primers, I find out that there are some Rem 5 1/2 primers but I think I usually buy 1 1/2 primers, I'm going to assume the 5 1/2 are magnum but I don't find that in the description

anybody got a remington website link that tells me, I looked at thier site and could not find out anything on their components page

Never mind I finally found it

5 1/2 are magnums

Glad you found what you were looking for.

It's pretty lame when Remington's own website doesn't differentiate what their #'s mean, without searching the site more ( I didn't):

=====================================================
Overview:

Within every Kleanbore primer is a group of subcomponents assembled to exceptionally precise tolerances. Primer cup dimensions are controlled to four decimal places. The priming mix is specially formulated for consistent ignition with a wide variety of powder types, and tested for reliability over a temperature range of -20°F to +150°F. Individual primer pellet weight is controlled to .01 grams. A unique tripod anvil design creates a larger "sweet spot" with maximum sensitivity - even with off-center firing pin strikes. And lastly, each lot is 100% visually inspected and subjected to critical ballistic tests. Rifle primers are offered in 6 1/2 small rifle, 7 1/2 small rifle, and 9 1/2 large rifle and 9 1/2M magnum rifle. Handgun primers are available in 1 1/2 small pistol, 2 1/2 large pistol, 5 1/2 small pistol, and 7 1/2 small rifle.
