balmo Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Or does it even matter? I ran out of Win SPP and had to buy a couple of CCI SPP. My guns do not have the trick'est trigger: SP01 with 11# MS, Stock2 with 13# MS, and a PCC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garmil Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Winchester are a little softer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) Winchester are definitely much softer. Not just a little bit. A 650 will easily keep Wins below flush, whereas many of your CCIs will end up barely down flush, which isn’t good enough for a hammer fired gun in DA. People don’t think about the harder cup making it more of a challenge for your press to seat them - hard primers aren’t just a factor when being hit by a hammer with a lightweight spring underneath it.

StuckinMS Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I have ran over 150,000 CCI primers in the last 2 years. Most through Sprinfield xd and xdm pistols and over 50,000 through a Sig Sauer Max 1911 and a STI Edge. I am using a hornady lnl press and have only had 3 failures. Triggers on edge and Max are set at 1 pound 12 oz. Springfield Armory at 3 pounds. Winchester is softer, but it hasn't made A difference in my guns.

jkrispies Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) I prefer the CCI’s over the winchesters (and others) because they seat more reliably in the reloading machine. I’ve always attributed this to the CCI being a bit harder and maybe the coating a bit slicker. I also find that the CCI’s ignite more reliably. Of course, this might be one of those “your mileage may vary” observations... Edited January 10, 2018 by jkrispies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winchesters hang up in my pal filler where CCI (and Fed)just flow like water. They are definitely slicker in that regard. And they do indeed seat easier. With the pal filler one of the big pluses is the small package size. They can be dumped easily just by flipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason237m Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 CCI for easy seating for sure, but if you have a light strike issue Win (or better yet Federal) are the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
