Sellier & Bellot primers, worth it?

[t0rin0]

Can't find a lot in the way of reviews of the primers. Looking at buying large pistol primers for .45 acp. Are they worth buying in bulk? How are they compared to other primers in terms of how well they'll work in a progressive press and how much force is needed to detonate them?

They're cheap as heck at Cabela's at $20/1000 and there seems to be no practical limit on how much you can order and still get the $20 flat rate shipping.

Heard good things about them theres another post floating around here on them. Almost brought some the other day for no good reason but couldnt stomach paying the $20 shipping when others got free shipping a few weeks ago

I believe they're pretty hard primers. From what I read, they're good primers and probably the best deal currently available. I bought 10,000 last month but I haven't got around to reloading any yet , still draining off my remaining Tula primers.

THEY ARE ****ING AWESOME!

THEY GO IN LIKE BUTTER AND ALWAYS GO BANG!

YEAH! I AM YELLING! THESE PRIMERS ARE SO WORTH IT! YEAH!

GET 50K AND DO NOT LOOK BACK! GET 100K AND DO NOT LOOK BACK!

THEY ARE SOFTER THAN TULA AND ARE PACKAGED JUST THE SAME!

I HAVE MADE 3300 RDS SO FAR IN 9MM AND THEY HAVE ALL BEEN GREAT EXCEPT FOR 6 BUT THAT IS THE GLOCK THAT IS MESSED UP, EVERYTHING ELSE IS FINE!

GET THEM!


How is that for a review?

I think there is a limit on Haz Mat UPS weight. I have read 48 lbs on powder and I thought I read about a limit on primers but I can't recall.

Powder Valley has Sellier & Bellot primers at $22/k, I was thinking of trying some when I make my next order.

GOD BLESS SoB!

When I asked PVI how long before Tula primers were back down to $16/ 1k they said NEVER. I say HAH! Then I shall call my daddy and have him export 300 million into the US at half the price of others...

And then I realized that my dad would not know what the hell I was talking about so I went back outside and pulled more weeds.

Just bought 10K at Cabela's
Big session coming up.

Weirdners has Wolf SRP now for $16/1K.

Ordered some primers from Cabela's over a month ago....$20 Hazmat fee. Lowest I know of.

Just shot 100 large pistol, 200 small rifle, 200 small pistol primers last weekend. No duds. Hope that helps.

You got a few hours left on their $5 shipping for orders over $99. It looks to me like they have no weight limit on the $20 hazmat fee too.

[roc_my_tims]

Anyone local to downey, gardena wanna go half on shipping/hazmat? If so pm me

[AGunNut2]

B*stards. They were just 19.99/K and 5% shipping end of July.
