Used them in a 2011 open gun,I’ll use them for practice and managed to get CCI SRP’s for this year (matches for sure) Thanks for the post. I am thinking about trying some Ginex SPP's.

I think that the primers are a variety of just missing the spec for use in some varieties of ammo manufacture. that means they are 'surplus.' part of this thinking on my part is that I have read that primer compound does vary in how easy or hard the material is to ignite. I've not been able to find info on how they test. I suppose a weighted hammer could be accurate enough. miranda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer Federals, but seen an add for $350.00 for 5,000 (shipping and Hazmat included). I could not find Federals at that price. The last time i checked, they are currently all sold out.

When I factor in performance, cost of travel and fees and all the extras that go into shooting I'd rather pay an extra .04 per shot. Call it an optimization tax. Even at 10,000 rounds that's only $400 a year. Granted if one needs that money for something else it's better than not shooting. A few years ago I came to the realization that in the grand scheme the benefits of enjoying myself was worth a lot more. Most would probably question spending.04 total for shooting, that's what makes us special Edited March 30, 2023 by pskys2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most would probably question spending.04 total for shooting, that's what makes us special when you add in all that is involved with going to a competition, as opposed to 'practice,' yeah it is pretty clear that hunting to save a penny or two per primer is unwise. I feel obliged to point out that thinking can be used to buy a new truck to go to competitions. so there is a limit in there somewhere. As long as primers to reload are available, I will keep my grumbling about the prices down to a modest level. and I do need a replacement truck so high priced primers may have to wait. miranda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTrace Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I have been spouting off that when I run out of this batch of primers, if they are still a dime a piece, I will just buy Blazer Brass 124s and move on down the road without my 1050. But thats a lie. My reloads are too nice to give up and shoot factory ammo. My new favorite is an RMR 124 grain TC Match Winner, over 4.2 grains of N320 to 1.125". Soft and accurate.

Vic Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Here's an idea......take out a screwdriver, and crank that strain screw another half a turn, then not worry about popping alternate brand primers? If your worried your performance will be severely compromised by having a trigger pull of 7 pounds rather than 5, maybe take up bowling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pskys2 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Come on, being a seasoned citizen I've learned to prioritize. I keep hearing footsteps of the local young'uns, and am determined to keep them chasing me as long as possible. Bowling, really, maybe pin shooting. Don't smoke, drink or any other vice than shooting, heck federal primers are a steal compared to a heavy smoking habit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

testosterone Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Brownells seems to have fed 100's. I got a 10% discount for letting them have my cell number at checkout and it ended up being 71 a thousand delivered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
