cci benchrest primers
I needed primers today and i found an overstock at the local gun shop. Bought a few trays . Has anyone noticed any difference using them over normal primers. I bought some standard 400 as well, Just couldnt pass up a chance to try something new. Thanks

Only that they're higher priced.

I usually noticed that, But due to overstocked at the store they were actually cheaper. I got some, but really didnt expect to see any difference

Swamp_FoxI have found my most accurate loads with CCI BR2 primers. However, others have had better luck with others.

iwzbeemanI couldn't see any difference. Even to the point of mixing br primers and standard primers in the shot groups.
Others swear by them but............?

butchlocthey're supposed to be more consistant, but the only difference I've ever seen is using rem 7 1/2's in a 17 rem.

ricciardelliI checked-out these "benchrest primers" from all who offer them when they first hit the market.
I saw no difference between them and "magnum" primers of the same make and style.
Well, there was a difference...the price!
I figured as much, But they were cheaper than the standard primers so I am not out anything. Would have loved to hear that they did improve something, but really did guess I would get that response. thanks everyone. Ya'll are getting me thru this one thing at a time.

DwightI use them the BR2 in all my standard calibers and they shoot great but I can't say better. I buy mine cheap through our club since we have FFL. The benefit for me is safety because I also load magnum primers. The CCIs are all chrome and at least the BR2 has a B on it so I don't get them mixed up. I can't say they shoot any better than standard but they shoot very good. Unless you want to be a very serious competitive shooter don't waste time with trivial things.
Good Luck with your loading.
