Imperfection Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 I bought 1000 PPU large rifle primers several years ago and found them unreliable. Infact i still have some packs in draw i was so unimpressed. I cant even give the things away.😄 Im currently using S&B large primers and haven't had a single issue. Generally i stick to Remington in small pistol because they never ever fail, but sometimes you just have to get what you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windswept Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 I've not tried either but are you going to save much? Many RFDs seem to be selling something like CCI primers for £45/1000 or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyboy1950 Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 I have used Murom primers for years and found them to be totally reliable, cheaper than all the others as well. I generally buy around 4000 at a time from HPS Target rifles ltd. I use both large and small rifle and generally purchase for other members of my club at the same time. Not as far as Pudsey from you as they are near Ross on Wye. I have also used S and B before I found the Murom and they behaved faultlessly as well. I have never found a supplier of PPU primers but all their factory rounds I have purchased have been spot on, never had a miss fire or a hang fire. As Windswept has commented why not see what you can get locally, that way you can try several brands without buying by the 1000, then buy in bulk.

hafod Posted October 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 I bought the last 1000 cci primers my local shop had a fortnight ago cost 49 quid and they said they didnt know if they could get anymore in the near future so at 42 quid a 1000 was wondering if they were worth a punt really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not far over the bridge from you and they are excellent primers. Virtually the whole of our club uses them and has done for a couple of years now..

Even with the delivery charge, they still work out cheaper. I use Federal at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had a look at murom primers they are Russian I believe I was reading a thread on uk varmiter I think it was they gave them a good name plus they were even cheaper 30 quid a 1000 i haven't phoned about those yet to see if they would send them to my local RFD at that price I'd get a couple of 1000 of them as primers are going the same here as America atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This lockdown is stopping me going to the 3 RFD's that I usually deal with. Depending on the postage charge, I'd be happy to get them delivered, as going to each RFD costs me around 1 gallon of fuel, plus time or course.

hafod Posted October 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) This lockdown ain't helping steve I bought the last 1000 cci 400 my local shop had 3 weeks ago Ive had A lot of feedback now about the murom primer the past couple of days so i might see if I can arrange something with my local rfd even after paying the hazmat on them they are way cheaper than the cci murom.£29 .00 a thousand compared to cci @ 49.00 a thousand no comparison really Edited October 16, 2020 by hafod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lever357 Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 I have used Sellier and Bellot small pistol and large rifle primers for a few years. Pay on average £32 per 1000 and have never had one fail to fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either buy them direct from Westlander at shooting shows or I know a RFD who deals from home and he has started supplying them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
