Wow, that's big price and I don't even think shipping is listed. Hell if anyone's looking I got #41s cheaper than those are.

Shipping was $20. I know the price is $$$, but hey, they have them by the case. Who else is doing that?

I'm sitting okay at the moment, but there may be others that aren't.

Would you prefer that I just keep my mouth shut? Cause I can do that.

Definitely was treat rather than trick at the Kennewick Sportsman's Warehouse when they opened this morning.

There were some people mocking those of us who walked quickly to the aisle, where 8 bricks were on the shelf. There were 13 people waiting for the store to open. Apparently the mockers aren't good at math.

https://www.natchezss.com/cci-standard-primers-500-small-pistol.html < in stock since last night - price isn't great but they have them.

Add in the shipping+hazmat for that and that price really hurts. (S=$20+H=$20)

You could always buy them here from some scalper for the same? Or, I've been seeing them for a little less around here lately too.

 

[Local Loader]

Most here don't seem to scalp, most seems to either want to make a few bucks or break even myself included. I'd rather sell or trade things here cause I know it's people that need and use it versus someone just wanting to hoard it all.

I traded for some of those Rem 6 1/2s
My plan is to try them in pistol loads.

I use my Rem 6 1/2 primers when reloading for .38 special, .357 mag and 9mm.

I was under the impression you were looking for primers. My bad.

I still have some I'm looking for but I try to help others get some too.

RE : The CCI #41

IMHO, the NEED for a "military primer" is exaggerated. Probably "marketing" has a lot to do with that.

But then.....
This is not a "classified thread." So, I'm NOT thread crapping.

It's a bit of a marketing thing yeah but the #41s are a little different than the standards since they have a thicker cap to prevent slam fire in ARs.

 

[Carooee00]

Does anyone know of any places that has primers right now?

I have magnum small rifle primers for trade if ya got small pistol primers

 

[2ndtimer]

It's a bit of a marketing thing yeah but the #41s are a little different than the standards since they have a thicker cap to prevent slam fire in ARs.

My understanding is that the No. 41's have the same cup thickness as the CCI-450, but a different designed anvil to make them less sensitive to prevent slam fires. Also have the same amount of explosive material as the CCI-450's, so should be treated as a "magnum" primer.

Yes. Marketing is a player to making BIGGER profits.

And as to, how people spend their money.....well, it's a FREE COUNTRY. Just like with their VOTE. They are FREE TO CHOOSE.

Getting back to the issue of "slam fires"....
There are mechanical things that could make/contribute to a slam fire.

Example….mechanical…. as in bad headspace, wear on certain parts, chamber size, etc. etc.

Earlier …..I was looking for the exact quote (I have it saved somewhere) that CCI had put out. About their #41 primers and the issue of slam fires. Basically, they admitted that it wasn't a cure-all.

Aloha, Mark

 

[ma96782]

This is NOT the quote that I was searching for but.....

• The CCI 41 and 34 primers were designed to help prevent slam fires in semi-auto military rifles with free floating firing pins. That being said when Remington ran Lake City they used 7 1/2 and 9 1/2 primers and the firing pins on both the M14 and M16 were lightened during the trials testing period and special primers were not needed.

And here is another gem.

What's the difference between CCI 34 and CCI 41 primers?

• The main difference between CCI #34 and CCI #41 primers and standard primers is the height of the anvil is shorter requiring more force to set off the primer. For the AR15 rifle any primer with a cup thickness of .025 will work fine, with thinner cups the risk of slam fires increases.

I guess this is close enough...... to what I was searching for.

CCI Primers are continuously tested and improved. As a result today's CCI primers are more sensitive, easier to seat and more compatible with progressive and automated loading equipment than ever before. They utilize modern non-corrosive and non-mercuric initiator mixes for the cleanest burn possible.

Number 41 Mil-spec primers are made to the same specifications of the U.S. Military and reduce the chances of a slam-fire. While designed for you in Military-style semi-auto rifles, they use the same data as CCI magnum primers.
Note from CCI:

• Effective slam-fire prevention requires more than mil-spec primers. Headspace, chamber condition, firing pin shape and protrusion, bolt velocity, case condition and other factors can affect slam-fire potential.
