Still shooting primers i bought in the 90's after the assault weapon ban.The world got crazy in 2020 but that wasn't the first time the world got crazy and it DAMN SURE will not be the last.
Political cycles (anyone that has been around more than a few years and paying attention knows the drill), fear, panic, social unrest, new gun owners, old gun owners, general economic upheaval, blah, blah, blah……
There’s nothing new here. We’ve all seen it before. It is not worse this time, it is not different this time, it’s just how it’s playing out this time.
I have distinct memories of talking to “gun people” in the fall of 2008 and you would have thought the world was coming to an end. The same held true in 1992, and the fall of 2016. And those were just some of the 4-year presidential election cycles. Toss in some domestic and world events, a media that loves to excite its readers/viewers with short memories – and those fear/panic cycles can occur at any time.
Maybe start a new thread dedicated to reporting results from the Servicios y Aventuras (Argentine primers) SPP.Jeff I loaded some in small primer 45 for my stock glock please post if you have a duds I will too
I bought 5k of them last year. I checked and I'm down to 2k in boxes. 1k are still in loaded ammo, but I've shot 2k of them without issue..... On my Dillon 650 do they load as nice as Federal or CCI.... not quite as nice. Do I remember hating them, NO, not at all.Maybe start a new thread dedicated to reporting results from the Servicios y Aventuras (Argentine primers) SPP.
I plan on buying some in near future.
The CC showed up today. I promptly ordered 4k....they are still on sale.I just got an email about the new credit card I applied for...all is a go, should be in my pocket in 7 to 10 days, I hope NormaUSA still has the SPP on sale at that time.
Why? Did you opt for expedited shipping? My orders from Norma always arrive via FedEx with free shipping................wish they used UPS, instead.My 5K of SP Argentine primers arrived just now, 6 days later. I opted for FedEx delivery, which was a $20 bump.
I lean that way as well. I am MONDO FUSSY about my brass, though.To be fair, this sounds more like a casing problem than a primer problem.
100% functionality in one set of casings seems to support the theory that the PRIMERS are good.
The failures in mixed brass with iffy consistency of seating doesn’t condemn the primers.
2.5 lb SA I do not know what the DA is. I think the maybe fine BUT primer pockets must be chamfered and or reamed and primers set to bottom to be about perfect. BUT I did not get 100% even in SA with my light target smiths so If I use them then back to stock stings etc. Where Winchester runs 100% NOW. I have friends that run them and get 100% in the PCC game.
