MJinPA Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I heard recently that they are not as hard as they once were and are easier to set off. Anyone have insight on whether or not this is true? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rooster Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 CCI fixed the problem years ago. Yet this myth keeps on. http://www.shootingtimes.com/editorial/ammunition_st_mamotaip_200909/100079 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great info. Thanks for sharing this. Although I would avoid them in the past I’ve never had a problem with light spring setups and CCIs. I guess long held beliefs are hard to change.

MJinPA Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 As a side note...they seam more uniform in shape and and feel smoother when seating compared to some others. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4n2t0 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) If CCI fixed the problems years ago someone should tell my revolvers... You can call it primer sensitivity (instead of hardness) if it makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside but there are definitely real world differences between primer brands.

MJinPA Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 Maybe one of these days I’ll put an 8lb spring in my CZ to see if it’s still Federal or bust. Also, if anyone wants to send me one case of each brand, I’ll be happy to test and attach a detailed report to this post Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vluc Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) Switched from Federal to Winchester and now CCI, no changes to my Competition Glock and they all went bang. Edited March 31, 2019 by vluc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwikel Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 No ignition issues here using CCI SRP on all my pistol loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4d Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I got some Wolff SPP's back around 2007 for $12 per K,,, got 2 orders of 70lbs,, yep they are hard,,, but seemed to all go bang,,, were a bit harder to load. Although that is better than the early 90's CCI's that wernt even round and would hang up in the tubes on a Dillon primer feeder.. Was new to Dillon.. MY dealler took my CCI's,,, "Um yeh dont use these" gave me winchester.. Been using them ever sense. I did get a shipment of newer CCI's from a company that was going out of buisness about 2010,,, and those all ran through the Dillon just fine and all went bang." I do have to say I dont push the envelope on my trigger jobs. My 2011/1911's use 18lb MS under titanium MS cap titanium strut, and titanium firing pin.
