They've got to be made by another company, question is who?

And you're wise to ask for feedback ahead of time. I'd never buy that many on a whim.

 

[Josh89]

I did a little googling and found a couple answers.

Some company from Bolivia.cant remember the name.

Cci primers just relabeled.

That they make them.

Didn't find any reviews of how they worked.maybe I'll order some once there instock and they have free shipping again. Worse comes to worse they could make fun targets for the 22. They'd probably give a nice report.

Don't forget that price changes when you add "Hazmat".....

 

[bbbass]

Doesn't "Free Shipping" include Hazmat?

Not usually. They are generally separate charges (pun intended)

Oh,I wouldn't even bother with them then.that hazmat fee would probably eat up any savings to be had.

Humm.......FOEGETABOUT the hard primer vs soft primer question......

If and I mean IF.........I could choose primers strictly based on what I like. For ME it would be.........

Federal or Winchester

They seem to work best for ME through my reloading machines. Note, I said reloading machines (actually they are progressive presses). Sometimes, with certain other brand(s).......I have hang ups and that slows my production rate. No joy there.

Then, CCI works for ME mostly when using the ol' single stage press priming method. Or my lee hand primer tool.

I don't have a problem (too much)......with WOLF primers. Having said that. I trust American Mfns more.

But, in the REAL WORLD those "off brands" are usually priced cheaper. Humm.......what to do? So anyway, it's your choice. What has worked for me might, not work for you. Standard disclaimer: YMMV.

Aloha, Mark

They're from Bosnia & Herzegovina. I recently picked up 5k of LP, but haven't been able to try them yet.

 

[Josh89]

After you use some of them,if you could let me know if they work any better or worse than cci that would be awesome.

 

[Benchrest]

Will do!

Interesting.

I've used them in the past, and just ordered another 5000 today. They worked fine for me. I have only used Federal 100's and 150's. I cannot tell a difference, in loading or shooting. I like the packaging better, it's smaller.

 

[Benchrest]

Shot my first batch of Ginex LP today. They all went bang, with minor velocity differences between CCI 300.

Kinda a "well, that's good", since I bought 5K
