Woodman modules

[brownisdown]

Does anyone use Marksmodules for his 45 cal Omega barrels?What primers can be used and tools to load and unload the modules?I am thinking they might be easier to load in the bp than trying to put just the primers in.What is the cost and how many?

 

[ElDiablo]

Yes, I’ve used them with large rifle primers but you could also use large mag rifle primers.

I prime them with a mallet, carbon tube (cut off arrow) and a block of wood. And deprime with a punch.

Have you ever had one go off doing this?

This is a much safer priming tool. Universal Hand Priming Tool | RCBS

Depriming.................. Universal Depriming Station with Punch - Arrowhead Rifles

 

[ElDiablo]

Have you ever had one go off doing this?

No - if you do it carefully, there’s no more risk than using a priming tool. Pretty close to zero risk of setting off the primer if you understand how one is constructed. This manual way may be slightly slower than a priming tool.

 

[brownisdown]

So I take it you can not use 209 primers for this module.Do I need to re-head space for the modules like a primer?Do the modules just fit into the bp?

 

[ElDiablo]

The module is essentially a 209 dimensionally with the addition of the small nose to fit further up in the Woodman plug. It is primed with rifle primers (no you couldn’t get a 209 to go in it). Yes, you’d likely want to re-adjust headspace for the modules.

Youre not actually pounding the primer into the module? You put the primer on a solid surface and pound the module down onto it, right?

 

[ElDiablo]

These modules currently aren’t compatible with a hand priming tool without an adapter. Woodman will be making those shortly.

BTW, he also has an Arrowhead type module that is being tested.

I wouldn’t use the verb “pound.” I set the primer on an oak block and place the module in the carbon tube. Then tap the module down over the primer. Very easy.

But, in a pinch, can you use a 209 primer instead of the module?
Im surprise that a module that small will take large primer.

Yeah, ‘pound’ isnt what i imagine happening but i posted before thinking about that.

Yeah, and you may or may not have to readjust headspace.

I’m out of town at the moment - but will take a few pics when I get back.

Since I have several hundred 209 primers,I see no sense putting out money to buy the modules and then have to buy other primers to make it work.If it ain't broke,don't fool with it.

It may just leak a lot more than the modules, let us know who how they do.

I did slightly redesign the nipple on these. All of the new adj plug inserts we make that accept 209's also accept these modules. Older breech plug inserts could just be bored out to accept them. I've added so much new stuff, it will take some time to get everything made, like the hand primer adapter.

 

[ElDiablo]

The 209 type modules that I have look like this. This is one next to a Fed209A.

 

[brownisdown]

So the module is the same diameter as a 209 primer.Does that mean that a lmrp amd lrp are smaller in diameter than a 209 to fit in the module?And is the nipple like a flamee channel to ignite the powder?Thanks,ELDiablo

Yes, it’s a 209-sized brass module with the funnel/nipple on the front that fits in the flash channel of the Woodman plug.

like the hand primer adapter.

So, a Shell Holder Smaller than the 22 Hornet for the Handheld Lee Auto Prime Tool?

Yeah smaller.
