LARGE RIFLE BENCH REST PRIMERS Reviews & Ratings

In benchrest competition, there’s no such thing as a group that’s “too small.” Everything has to be tuned to the highest degree to produce match-winning results. That’s why CCI makes Benchrest primers. Only the most experienced skilled personnel put the priming mix in the cups, so you get the same flame, shot after shot. CCI also uses specially selected cups and anvils for added consistency. An independent researcher identified the use of CCI Benchrest primers as one of two factors that were the most significant contributors to tiny groups.

Load your long-range competition loads with only the best. CCI® Bench Rest Rifle primers are engineered to provide precision ignition in tough conditions. They're assembled with extra care for superior consistency and accuracy.

Great product

The best thing about this product besides quality was the availability! Thanks,

Get em when ya see em

I'm glad I caught them when they came in. Now, I must admit that I really don't see much difference between the BR2s and regular CCI LRPs, but that might relate to the accuracy limitations of my rifles and especially my shooting. That is, once you get smaller and smaller groups into the sub MOA area factors like brass integrity, projectile seating, freebore jump, action screw torque, etc. start to pop up just as much as primer ignition. But, that's fine. Consider it insurance on the shot--Just something else you can hold consistent. Now, when you compare CCIs to other primers like Rem 9 1/2s there is a world of difference, starting with the actual primer dimension itself and its variability. So, given a table full of Federal, Remington, and CCIs, I would load up the bag with CCis.

BR4 primers

Good product but way overpriced at this point in time after you pay Hazmat fees and shipping. Brownells should give some additional consideration to its Edge members to permit more than one brick at a time in order to keep effective price lower and get same lot. I like these in 6BR Norma for prairie dogs.

over priced ,but good primers

great primers love them -never had a miss fire,,

Thankful

I have used these primers for several decades for benchrest competition, as well as shooting prairie dogs. They increased the accuracy of my handloads by 1/4 in my benchrest rifle. I am also thankful that they are starting to show up for sale again. It has been quite a dry spell for shooters and handloaders.
