igolfat8 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Been using CCI magnum primers in my .223 this season. Today I loaded some S&B rifle primers and they sure inserted a lot easier than the CCI's. Has anyone noticed any difference in accuracy or velocity between the two primers?

TacticalJesus Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Have you had a chance to shoot any of those? Any problems with them? Was looking at getting some but can't find much info on them. A few threads on here but nothing new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igolfat8 Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 Not yet. I loaded up 100 but have not shot any so far. They feel a lot softer inserting them so I doubt I will have any hard primer issues that CCIs are known for. I just don't know what the reliability is with them yet. Another unknown is that I load Magnum CCI primers in my rifle and the S&B are not offered in magnum so I don't know what difference that will make in performance either?

dolton916 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I've loaded 5K or so no problems yet and the price is great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thermobollocks Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Small rifle standard. No performance difference between CCI and Win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolton916 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 For rifle I only use standard small in 556 but they work fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igolfat8 Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 Weather is turning crappy here and I am embarrassed to say that I have not been able to make it out to the range to try these yet. I do have some loaded and ready to go as soon as my schedule opens up??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacticalJesus Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Drop me a message if you get a chance to shoot them in the next few weeks. Let me know how they turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venatic Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I have shot a couple of hundred and just finshed priming another 500. They all went bang and yesterday shot some 1/2 MOA groups with my bolt gun using R1200 and 50gr ZMax bullets which is my 3 Gun load. I did however have som of the Small pistol S&B's to not fire on the first try with my Glock but they all fired after a second or third try so I think it's a tougher primer which if that is the same in the SR primers is a good thing.

TacticalJesus Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 perfect. Thanks for the input. Looks like I'll be saving up to get a bunch of these then. Can't beat 22 bucks per 1000. Just waiting for someone to have free shipping or no hazmat to get them. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
