    CCI Regular and CCI BR primers

    Is there a difference in the regular CCi primers vs. BR? If there is a difference, what is it? BR is about 60% more. What is the fps between the two?

    Speer reloading book said the BR are produced by carefully selected employees that do a better job than the rest of the clowns that make the regular ones. Same as far as fps and pressure. Run the line a little slower, supposedly use the most uniform cups and anvils. Must be a pretty good profit maker for CCI.

      Yes, there is definitely a difference in the small rifle ones. Large rifle - don't know.

        I would think it would just be about more exacting tolerances. You'd be sure to get exactly the same ignition every time.

          I know Bench Rest shooters that actually hand ream the flash holes before seating the BR primers. For those that shoot Same Hole Groups...probably worth the extra money.

          Fewer people are killed with all rifles each year (323 in 2011) than with shotguns (356), hammers and clubs (496), and hands and feet (728).

            Lower SD's, only you can say whether the price difference is worth it. Sounds like at this point the answer maybe no.

              BR-4 primers are worth the extra cost....if you enjoy really small groups and reload accordingly.
