5000ct Case of Small Pistol Primers. Made On The Asia Continent. $500 Shipped

[padraig]

I am really curious about the Argentinian primers. There isn't much info or reviews about them online.

I imagine that they're made by FM, the State owned munitions company. I have had some of their brass come through and thought of it as very average...

I also received the email just after I responded to you earlier. I've been informed that my new shipment was already sent. Don't yet know if this will affect the Argentinian primers shipment.

I bought 5k of the Muroms the day you posted the deal. They messed up the first label...about gave me a heart attack. UPS said my package was delivered but when I checked it was delivered back to Missouri I think. Anyway, got an updated delivery date yesterday and just checked the tracking again. Should be here tomorrow.

This is the first screw-up I've seen from them. They're a good company. It may be longer than tomorrow since this happened a few days ago and the shipments are Ground because of Hazmat. Good primers. I've used many of them.

Got 5K Murom SPP in today. 3rd shipment. Xlnt primers, no problems so far...

They were down to 25 of the 4000ct Argentina primer cases about an hour ago.

I strongly suspect that the Russian primers - Wolf, Tula, Murom, Ft. Smith, etc., as well as those ammo brands will soon disappear just like Norinco products did years ago. Too bad, these probably made up to 10%-15% of the US market for some popular calibers. I don't see current shortages ending anytime soon....

I am stocking up even at current high prices. The next time this happens I will be much less concerned. As (if) retail prices begin to fall, I will dollar cost average my way into additional stock. In the meantime I will grab deals on the less popular primers when they pop up. I am beginning to switch my focus to rifle powders now and a few select mid range to magnum pistol powders.

Agree on all counts....

Just received 12K Turkish SPP. First impression is that they're good quality, beautifully packaged, commercial labeling. I'll load some up in both hammer and striker fired pistols (Browning High Power, Glock 34) and report....

 

[padraig]

Received both the Turkish and Argentinian primers and will load some 9mm for testing today. First impression is that the Turkish product is very well packaged and look great. The Argentinian primers are ok looking but the packaging is not up to the quality of the Turkish.

If you have any light striking firearms can you try popping a few primers in them?

Federal soft? I can set my Glock 34s anyway you can think of...

Sure. I had read that the Argentinan ones might have a harder cup but I read it on the internet so...

Ok... I've loaded up a bunch of the American Arms SYAs (Argentinian SPP) and have a few comments...
Each of the 4 bricks had 2 bxs where the primers had come out of the packaging. It's a pain in the butt to put these on a flat surface and a few went all over my bench. Grrrr!

Loading was great. They look good as a finished product and they didn't seem oversized. They are a brass color with flat surface.

No problem firing them in a factory unmodified Glock 17 or Browning HiPower. I did ok with slightly reduced springs in a Glock 34 with one FTF.

Double taps with competition springs did not go well. I'm a fan of Federals because they're soft, these are not soft. They are at least as hard as CCI 500s probably harder.

Put the FTFs into the Browning, no problem.

I wouldn't avoid these, but I'd personally only use the for plinking in factory guns.

The Unis Ginex are better IMHO.
