S&B Primer experience?

[shibumiseeker]

How do you tell if you have a hard primer if they all go bang?

It downs a double shot of whiskey after it goes bang.

I had 3k of these a few years ago. I’m glad I’m done using them and based on my personal experience will not buy again. I had many that would fail to ignite the powder and I confirmed by pulling bullet and seeing that primer was spent. Another friend of mine have 1k and he experienced the same problems.

Never had an issue with Czech products. I should know I'm roughly 30% Czech heritage

I bought several thousand from Down by the tracks last time things dried up. I have never had any issues with them including Glocks with lightened springs.

I have used thousands and have had no issue what so ever but i also don't own glocks

I’ve loaded thousands and only issue is their size is inconsistent. Some slide right in, some will just not fit. I have some CCI on standby for those cases. They’ll frequently go into next case, never had similar issue using CCI or Winchester.

Firing them in Glocks, Kimbers, Taurus and S&W. picked mine up a few years back at Cabelas on sale.

Same here. I've run thousands of them in glocks, s&w, berettas, no issues to complain of.

I've experienced this, but found that it is always a case brand issue. Example the S&B primers hate 38 special herters brass for me. I can tell the second i hit one and i just back off and throw it aside.

I have that with Federals and 9 mm brass. There are certain ones that are very tight and I don't want to use excessive force. So I just toss them. I know it's the brass because I can use the same primer in another case and it fits fine.

I have only used about 500 of them ( a couple .380's snuck in there dammit!) but I have never had any issues. I usually use Federal but in these tough times I'd use tula lol.

When Cabelas had them on sale, wish I would have bought some. Had them in my hand but... Would be perfect for now imo.
