Peterbilt32 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 (edited) Has anyone had much luck with these primers. I've searched previous posts but looking for info on how everyone likes them and how they are seating them with a dillon 750. More or less seeing how they feed on a dillon 750 They are priced good . Primers just dont seem to be moving on price. Any info would be greatly appreciated . Tia Edited April 2 by Peterbilt32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayw1128 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I purchased them about a month ago. Loaded them on a Frankford Arsenal X-10. Loading went well, feeds down the tube and seated with no issues. Only issue I ran into is that my striker fired handguns (Sig 365 and Glock 17, both with stoke triggers) have occasional problems setting them off. Maybe 1 in 20 rounds won't fire on the first strike. No issues with my hammer fired handgun or PCC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximis228 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 They need to be sat very deeply to work well with striker fired guns and low pull weight DA guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most non-fire (a round 1-2 per 1000) I have ever had no matter how deep or what gun I use. Just not reliable enough for competition and very annoying in practice.

Banacek Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I bought 10K last year from a guy getting out of USPSA and I have shot 400 so far without a problem. The person I bought them from said he had no problems either. They do seen to leak their compound a little. Have not seen that with other primers, but still going bang.

Farmer Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I’ve only gotten through 200 so far but all worked well in all my guns, strikers and revolvers. Some people seem to have better luck than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeilAndrew Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I bought 5k to mess around with since they were so cheap. They'll be relegated to being used in guns that aren't sensitive to primer hardness, like my 38spl lever gun and PCC. I've shot just under 1k of them now, with one true dud as @Hesedtech mentioned. I thought it was just a light strike, tried to set it off multiple times and it wouldn't go at all. Otherwise, it was fine. Not fantastic in my Shadow 2 in terms of light strikes (would go off on a subsequent DA strike), went just fine in my stock Glock and aforementioned lever gun and PCC. Seems acceptable for practice in guns that aren't finicky with primer hardness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes they go off on the 2nd try, sometimes on the 3rd try, sometimes not at all! Thank goodness I've kept the loaded rounds seperate from my other primer loaded ammo. These are now only used in practice, and can't wait to get rid of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayw1128 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 That is exactly what I'm gonna do. Load it for my pcc and hammer fired pistols. Use other ammo for my stroker fired. Pita... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputersAre8ad Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I use them in my PCC and 2011s. Shadow 2 with an 11.5# hammer spring needed to double tap 1 in 10 or so. Very important to make sure they're all the way down. I was loading with a 750 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fencer1960 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 (edited) I ran through 10,000 of these a few years ago. Mine came in a green and yellow box. They ran fine in hammer fired pistols, and eventually ran well in my striker fired guns after I installed fresh striker springs. A friend of mine got some recently that came in a different colored box, I think it was blue, and has had nothing but trouble with them. He sold them at a loss with the recommendation that they be used only for pistol caliber carbine, where they worked well.

NOSHMJ Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 loaded 5k so far with the 750, not a single issue, and they all went boom in my guns. I do use only hammer fired tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejock7 Posted Sunday at 03:02 AM Share Posted Sunday at 03:02 AM They won't feed in my Dillon RL1100 press. They jam up the tube and either don't come out, or come out two at a time. CCI and Winchester feed fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKP Posted Monday at 02:07 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:07 PM I tried 1k and they worked fine priming and shooting, hammer or striker fired. They prime just like CCI or Winchester, unlike Fiochii, which seem taller and a bit tighter. I have since stocked up on the SyAs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
