CCI BR4 Primers - Price Increase

[Shynloco]

Guys,
Be aware (if you aren't already), the cost of CCI BR4 Small Primers has increased ($48.00 per 1000) at Powder Valley Inc and even worse at Bullets.com ($48.24). Only Bruno's has them available for $39.95 + a 7% discount over the Memorial Day weekend. Now Bruno's does have a $30 Haz Mat fee that upsets many (as well as me) + a UPS shipping charge. But with the discount, you are still SLIGHTLY ahead by buying (2-3 boxes or more) them at Brunos over the weekend than either of the other two vendors I mentioned. Info only!

I was told years ago that the CCI rep told my local gun store owner that the only difference between regular LR CCI and CCI bench rest was a visual inspection to make sure all cups had priming compound in them. I have shot both and see no difference in accuracy.

Thanks, but it's a fact of life. I have boxes of bullets with price stickers for $6.95 on them. Buying a gallon of milk floors me. Everything keeps going up.

Buying milk we pulled it from the cow!

We were lucky. Our neighbor had a hundred cows. My mother used to send me over with jugs. He never charged us anything cause we'd bring his cows back when they got thru the fence into our farm. Those were the days! Free milk and fertilizer.

I was lucky also. Milked cows on two farms for food on the table and clothes on my back. Small farms are mostly all gone here now. Family farms had cheap labor, us kids! All the big dairies here now also have cheap labor. Illegal immigrants are doing nearly all the milking!

Must be tricky to stamp the base after thy are assembled.

The BR cup is .005 thicker and .0002 bigger in diameter. It will hold up to the high pressure of a Dasher without blanking. Matt

I believe that was when Blount International owned CCI...

BR primers are overrated

I got the deal of a lifetime last week, came across a reloading shop on my way up the interstate going home and stopped in, bought 5lbs of H4350 and one brick of BR4's and a few other things. Put it all on the counter to pay and a guy started talking to me so I was deep in conversation and the girl ( not normally working there) rang me up, I paid cash and left, didn't think anything about it. Got about 70 miles up the road and started to thing about the final price and something didn't sound right. So I looked at the receipt. The primers were sold by the sleeve or by the brick. Tag on the brick was $5.50 ( that was for one sleeve) and she rang it up as $5.50 for the brick!! I think I will have to mail them a check to make me feel right!!

Each to his own. My BR rifles don't agree when testing/shooting the identical loads with regular CCI SR primers at the same sitting/conditions.

My current wholesale price on CCI BR primers is $46.49/1000. That's for 1000 or 20,000. And, before any transportation and hazmat. I'm gonna' be rich!

Tactical adds at least 20% to the price. Make it black and tactical and bump that to 50%. Make it black, tactical and with some sharp edges and good ad copy, add 100%.

Try a magnum primer or a Remington 71/2 .I quit using CCI BR primers, not worth the price.
