Furrly Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Bought a batch, having constant light primers strikes with my 2011, resorting the to practice ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowenbuilt Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) I loaded and shot 300 rounds with these yesterday. Glock, CZ and M&P. No issues, they all went pop. I always put extra effort in seating all primers to make them as sensitive as possible. Not saying Furrly's experience with them is untrue as i read other people were having light strikes with these. I have found if i flatten most any primer with extra hard seating i don't run into light strikes. Edited November 22, 2022 by bowenbuilt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your mainspring weight? Probably have to go up. I run 17#'s in my open STI's and they light any rifle/pistol primer except S&B small rifle. Those are hard as rock.

I run a 17# as well, I was having primer sitting issues with my 650 that could have possibly been the root of the problem. I will load another batch go from there, they are harder to load then any other primer I have loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has proven true for me across multiple batches of S&B, Unis Ginex, and Murom small pistol and large rifle primers. Once seated all the way they have functioned 100%. If you're priming with foreign primers on a progressive and have not adjusted seating depth, I would look there first before blaming the primers.

vegaspete61 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I bought a case from Powder Valley. The first 200 all went bang in my BUL TAC 4.25. They're gogd to go for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fencer1960 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I've run through 10,000 of these over the last year. I had to replace a reduced power striker spring in one of my pistols to get reliable ignition. The hammer fired guns were fine. I'm out now and I wish I could get more.

clw42 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I've loaded about 2K of these now. They seem to work fine in my Shadow 2, PDP, and Open guns. However, they are a total pain in the butt to flip on the primer tray, and my RL1100 primer feed system does not like them at all. They are constantly causing stoppages, especially if I try picking up the pace, even a little bit. Just for kicks, I loaded 100 with CCI primers and it was night and day as far as the press goes. No stoppages and I could go as fast as I was able to pull the handle. They've all gone bang for me, but I won't buy them again if I don't have to.

Bakerjd Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Bought some from PV not too long ago. Ran 50 through my tanfo stock 2 and no issues. They didn't seem any harder to seat then others I've used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
