At present I have plenty of CCI primers.
I have used these since I started shooting but they are now over £70 / 1000 which is a totally ridiculous jump in recent times.
I am looking at Muron primers which cost just over £20 / 1000.....not sure these would be in reliable supply but has anyone actually used these ?

Never even heard of them. Only way to find out is to test some. I've generally found that primers don't make much of a difference to accuracy for short range use, but they can have a big impact on ES which affect long range accuracy.
Where have you seen them at that price?

The septics seem to like them, low sd's and very consistent by all accounts. I'd like to try some, if only for the shorter range stuff, at that price...

Think that price was HPS.
Just thinking that nothing ever gets cheaper and if they work at around 1/3 CCI prices AND they are truly available.......why wouldn't you?

I use Muron SR primers, no problems so far and lower ES & SD than with CCI SR Benchrest. I bought 20k from HPS a few years ago when there was a scare about a shortage so I'm set for quite a while.

Hmmm! Dave's right about the cost of CCI primers, I use BR4s & BR2s but the cost is getting out of hand!..So maybe looking for an alternative brand in the very near future.

I have just put my 260 in for a rebarrel with Neil McK.......might as well give Muron a trial during load dev alongside CCIs......worth the 20 quid experiment at least......and if John M-H reckons them good and Laurie Holland ditto then I anticipate good results.

I can get them at the same price as HPS. £19 small Rifle, and £27 large.
Dave, I have 1000 large for you if you want them.
