You're a bit behind with your cci packaging.Perhaps a Part of the reason for this Primer Price Increase is their Packaging.
The CCI's were purchased a few years back & the Fed's were picked up Saturday.
I know Size Matters & all, but it's kinda Ridiculous.

What brand / size are you having problems with?I learned my lesson with "off brand" primers. I have 5000 loaded that I am going through with plenty of malfunction training.
I don't mind too much but if I start competing, I'll probably shoot factory stuff.
CCI or Federal from here on out for me.
I've got some that I ordered earlier this year, but haven't used enough yet to know how reliable they are. Be forewarned; they are very tight to get into the primer pocket. I ended up swaging all of my brass, even the ones that weren't crimped, just to make sure I could get the primers in consistently.Anyone used Ginex large rifle primers? I just bought 500 from Republic Ammo for under $100 including shipping. Gotta say, Republic shipped them within the day and they were here two days later. Not bad service.
We bought a case or two maybe 2 years ago but haven't opened either of them yet.I've got some that I ordered earlier this year, but haven't used enough yet to know how reliable they are.

Those come in a generic white box with the black printing right?I've got some that I ordered earlier this year, but haven't used enough yet to know how reliable they are.

Yep, the ones I got did.Those come in a generic white box with the black printing right?
Thanks, we have one case of LR and a few boxes of LP. Haven't loaded any as of yet.Yep, the ones I got did.
My understanding is Prvi Partizan and other OEMs use these primers in their ammo. I've shot some of the Prvi ammo (6.5x55), and it was pretty decent stuff. Also heard their primers were a snug fit.

Fort SmithWhat brand / size are you having problems with?
They had CCI today for about $96 including hazmat/shipping so I bit the bullet and ordered some. As high as 30-30 and 30-06 are now, it makes sense to reload, even at those high primer prices.Anyone used Ginex large rifle primers?
