#57 Primers and #157 - Cast Boolits For use in Remington-Peters shells " Generally speaking, only Remington-Peters and some Alcan cases used the 57 size primer, the rest used the 209 or Winchester size From the above it appears that the G57F was a little hotter than other standard primers, but not as hot as the Alcan 220 MaxFire
