Primers?

[CROWMAN]

I popped into my local gun shop this morning to pick up a few items I needed, one of the items was Small rifle primers.

I normally buy CCI 400, there was none of these in stock, so I had to take CCI BR4, I nearely fainted when I was told the price was £50- per box of 1000.

I was told that prices had gone up, I forgot to ask what price CCI 400 in Small rifle were now.

Is the price I was quoted about what you are paying in your area? I would be most interested to know.

I've only ever used CCi primers for all of my rifles, are other makes as good? Are Privi primers OK ?

Thanks for any /all replies.

i tend to buy in bulk, 5000 at a time, so they last a few year.Stick to what you know best, Privvy = poo from experience.

You nearly fainted because you didn't notice that the BR in the name stands for Bench Rest - the most expensive type of primer imagineable.

Magtec giver me all kinds of problems in seven different rifles. Remington are not the best [ie. sh!te]. RWS are even more expensive than your over-rpiced CCI BR primers, too.

Do yourself a favour and stick with CCI.

The BR is a bench rest primer this like extra deluxe version for long range shooting. You dont need to buy these for normal use.

Yep, I did notice that they were BR, also knew that they were super doopa Bench rest primers but no ordinary CCI 400 in stock or liable to be in stock for some time.

The CCI 400 are, when they are in stock £45- per 1000, CCI BR are £50- per 1000

So it was a case of them or nothing

Many thanks for the info on other primer makes, looks like it's CCI or nothing.

How about what price you are paying for CCI primers in your area?
