It is inconceivable that CCI cannot produce enough primers. Surely there
is an explanation for the short fall in supplies? Please explain.
Bryan Richardson –
Demand is beyond what anyone could imagine. The shortage right now is worse than what we experienced in 2008 and 2013. Primers are severely constrained on capacity. When ammunition sales are through the roof like they currently are the manufacturers use their primers to produce their ammunition. Us reloaders are left out in the cold.

Leaving a review on the actually product quality and performance. Goes pop and has gone pop in everything I have used them in. Patiently waiting for them to come back into stock and will buy as many as I can.

I’ve used these for years, great product. I believe that they are probably producing primers for the big ammo manufacturers before producing them for reloaders, which makes sense to me. If you have a customer that wants to buy 500 primers or 5 million primers, who do you take care of? If you’re in business, you take care of the customer who is going to buy 5 million (the big ammo mfgs.). Hence the shortage.

CCI have become my go to SP primers. I rate them better than all others and I have used tens of thousands of primers.
I understand those who compete prefer Federal because they are softer allowing weaker main springs to be used making trigger pull very very light but for practical training and SD shooting I want “normal” hardness

Not sure why one would leave a poor product review because of market conditions, but here’s a 5 star for flawlessly performing primers from CCI!

There is not a better primer on the market today. I use every configuration of CCI primer made including the Military models. CCI continues to provide the HIGHEST quality product to the consumer at very very fair prices. My Dillon reloaders LOVE these primers and I try to not use anything else…..
If you want a high quality consistent primer that ALWAYS goes – B-A-N-G when you pull that trigger – buy CCI primers….. I know – because I have loaded over 100,000 CCI primers in my 40 years of reloading

My son was a professional IPSC shooter for a few years. One of his 13 corporate sponsors was CCI and they were absolutely great people to work with. They would ship him 40,000 to 50,000 primers at a time, I don’t know how many he received over the years but it was hundreds of thousands. His SV Infinity pistols had extremely light triggers in the 1.5-pound pull range. He never had a CCI primer fail to go bang out of all those used. We both still use nothing but CCI primers partly from loyalty but mostly due to the fact that they are fantastic primers.
