    Price drop on the Murom small pistol
    $66 per 1k
    Very good primers for those not familiar with them. They also have the added benefit of coming oriented the correct way to load in primer tubes

    I've ordered from them and received what I ordered. Shipping is quoted as $30 for me.

    ETA: $34 for 15k delivered to 21037. $68 per 1k delivered.

    ETA: Walmart used to sell Turkish ammo. Not a new thing. Do you find that odd?

    Powdervalley has Fiocchi SRP's

    Fiocchi loaded ammo uses lead styphnate-free primers, which supposedly burns cleaner - not sure these are the same thing, but figured I'll give them a try - price isn't bad by today's standards $120/1500

    Can you vouch for this site? Site is really slow but I need #11 caps.

    I have those. Only need SPP if you want to trade

    I don't have SPP. But I see SPP online in a few places unlike LRP which is out everywhere.

    Does anyone know if you can replace any LRP with the BR2 version? Specifically this is for 6.5 Creedmoor.

    I'd think suitability depends more on the gun than the cartridge. I wouldn't want to use a sensitive benchrest primer in a gun with a heavy, floating firing pin like a Garand. Odds of an OOB slamfire are still low, but not zero.

    Ah ok thanks I have no idea what the difference is.

    IIRC benchrest primers are optimized and QCed for very consistent ignition. As far as brisance (i.e. how "hot" they are), they're standard primers, just a lot more expensive. But for reloading my Garands and others with floating pins, I stick with the CCI #34s because they're specifically made to be less sensitive, so light taps from the FP won't risk setting them off OOB. That said, plenty of people load nothing but "standard" sensitivity primers and have never had an OOB.

    Sensitivity is a function of primer compound, anvil height, and, to a lesser extent, the thickness and metallurgy of the cup's metal. Unfortunately manufacturers are stingy with specific information about these properties of their products so we're all stuck with just personal experience and Internet rumor to judge ewhat primer is best for a particular application.

    The BR QC you'd be paying extra for wouldn't have any noticeable benefit in target shooting applications unless your creating very precise loads with tightly matched and trued brass.

    Are these something you're looking for? I don't even bother posting any small primers (pistol or rifle) any longer, they seem to be available most everywhere I look now.
