Ep. 133 - Talking Primers & Rimfire with CCI & Remington 

Where are all the CCI large rifle primers?

Wish I had enough large rifle primers that I could choose between regular and match primers, it's whatever you can get. Nice to know that they are basically the same primers and should not have much of an impact on reloads. Great show Seth.

Primers have been in short supply for 6 years! There is no excuse for the manufacturers to still not have ramped up lines to make more primers!

We need a few Billion Large Rifle Primers released to the public. Preferably Magnum. My 4 year stock is almost gone. I have multiple high end hunting rifles collecting dust because I can't load for them.

Seems like everyone in this industry knows that demand keeps growing except Hodgdon.

Loved hearing from folks in other parts of the industry. Yes there is the friendly competition part, but the comardarie and shared knowledge is not something most of us are aware of. Would also like to see it on the firearms side. Good job everyone

Where are the large rifle primers for the hand loader? They are now unobtainable for the common man, where all of the other primers seem to be at least somewhat available ? Large Rifle... can't touch them, or even see them

Yeah can we get some freaking large rifle primers, please for the love if all things.

🤷‍♂️ Just Like Horneday Went From Making Only Bullets To Manufacturing Brass, The Goal Should Be To Be Self Sufficient - By Adding Primers and Powder Manufacturing To Your Company! 🤔 Primer Demand Is At An All Time High and a Great Opportunity to Expand Your Product Line! 🤑

So remington alone is pumping out a billion primers a year, and there's still a shortage on them. Where are they all going?

Where, exactly, are the large rifle primers of any flavor?

Very informative podcast once again thank you

We still can’t get CCI primers in the UK. Almost 4 years.

Could you do an episode on annealing? Pro/con etc? :)

Great podcast. I live in Canada only primers I can find are German made.

🙋‍♂️ WE NEED HORNEDAY TO START MAKING PRIMERS!!! 🤷‍♂️

Hey here's a novel idea, how about we stop coming up with new crap until you can exceed the market demand for ALL of your current products at a NORMAL price. Once you can do that and maintain it over a long period of time, THEN we can talk about new ideas.

Co-opertition, huh? Looking forward to my new 6.8mm 175gr eldx

When is Horneday Going to Start Making Their Own Primers?

20 minutes in until the conversation about primers starts.. I appreciate the introductions, but that's a bit excessive IMHO....

She said ".270 Winchester" and I threw my hands in the air like I just saw a title winning score! 😂

It’s a sad state of affairs when you can’t even get the cci primers you want

Magnum primers are impossible to find in Canada.

Consistency in brands builds confidence. Like picking up a coke, you know what it’s gunna taste like. You wouldn’t like it if they changed the compound and now u had to rebuild your loads

Interesting people, but way too little technical information about primers 😢

So are CCI 34 & 41 primers magnum strength or just harder cupped. I feel like that would have been a perfect opportunity for some answers from the source.

How about bringing back the Federal match 22LR , that had a center dimple in the base , so the priming compound was moved to the outer edge more uniform , also make a copy of the OLD Lapua scoremax , sub at 48gr bullet weight .That old scoremax was the best subsonic 22LR ever made .

The reason so many folks still shoot .22 LR when you get better ballistic performance from 22WSM or even a 17? Lapua, SK and RWS, even Eley don't load for anything rimfire other than .22 When can we expect some of your companies to offer ammunition with Benchrest / Olympic consistency standard of the above mentioned manufacturers, many folks are still choosing the .22LR because its the only one that you can find ammunition loaded to handloaded quality when you look at ES and SD consistency needed for long range rimfire shooting.

By golly ide love to get some cci LRP. Litteral unobtainium up here in canada.

Love the Remington Podcast.

👩‍🏫 A 270 Girl? 🥰 That Audrey May is Definitely Management Material! 😎

Tell the boys in manufacturing we need a 75 eld vt for the 22 cal🤣

I was thinking this was going to be a center fire primer leaning leasing

It would be nice if U.S manufacturers would make 22lr match ammo as good as sk lapua and eley

Another great, informative podcast. Thank you

Unis Ginex has large rifle primers available, cheaper than US manufacturers.

I haven’t seen a box of magnum LR primers in years

Wish cci would make some rimfire match ammo that would compete with eley, sk/lapua match ammo

👍

Wished Remington rep could have clarified their primer numbering labeling. 1 1/2 6 1/2

Good talk about the world of primers and their differences. I see so many questions on FB reloading groups asking about using magnum primers in standard loads. Then the answers they get are all over the board. I cringe sometimes.

I'm sitting here with a brick of C.I.L. 8 1/2s

WHOOP!

Remington LR and 9.1/2 primers are the only primers available here in Australia, and that's taken five years and i personally thank Remington for that.. Federal primers are still non existence, Remington large rifle magnum primers are $275 dollars a thousand! i call that daylight robbery by our dealers.

Seems like a lot of shooting the shot and not a lot of info. Good to see u having a good time but geez!

Seth, Once again, thank you so much for the great entertainment and learning opportunity. Your guests are always knowledgeable and happy to share their experience. Technical podcasts are my favorite. Please continue airing in depth technical discussions on all things ballistics. "So much to learn - so little time to learn it."

here is a question for them... what will it take to get primers back to 25$ a brick? will it ever happen? same for powder....

I'd love to try some uppercut, but it's NEVER in stock. lol kinda like large rifle primers....

Hope your wife doesn't watch this Seth, she's eyeing you so hard. lol

Too bad the vast majority of comments turned into a bunch of man-children crying they can find primers instead of legitimate questions and comments. Yes, it sucks that you can no longer get 1k primers for $35. But look at the inflation of everything else. Par for the course. I was curious the difference in BR4 and BR2 vs Match. Heavier cup? Different mix? Keep the podcasts coming. Great info

35:00 uppercut was a total flop dude, I wouldn't go around bragging about that one.

Very sorry Seth, but I vote for Audrey to replace you.

Lying through his teeth when he said remington is made at Remington and federal is made at federal. My 16ga Remington shotshells sure would beg to differ! Since you have federal making them now, can you make them purple too?! As we much prefer our 16ga shells purple.

The Remington Podcast will now be a go to, just to see and listen to the beautiful Audrey Meyes. It’s not before time we had some intelligent glamour on the Hornady show.

Hey is your CEO still making everyone there get the Vax if they want to work for Hornady?

The issue I have with Kinetic is selling out to FOREIGNERS!. They had domestic offers. Then the gibberish about new gun owners.......Well, my guess is that the new gun owners were buying handguns probably 9MM/380 and 38 Special. They use small primers. So how does that affect LARGE RIFLE PRIMERS? Do you tear down equipment between sizes? or do you have fixed production equipment! Too bad Hornady had bought Remington Brand!

Thanks, gr8 and informative. I’m an addicted OCD reloader myself and often thought that my quest to consistent reloading has compensated for a lack of range time. One thing I’ve been wondering about is whether powder that enter the pimer and flash hole after reloading might equate to inconsistency. Surely this will happen to different amounts and degree. Ball powder more so compared to extruded powder I guess. Ammo being transported/stored in the vertical vs horizontal position. Vibration that over time might lead to compaction. No way that this potential space will be filled and compressed with a consistent amount of powder. Might this make a difference?? I know this comes down to splitting hair, but that’s what we do. I found some anecdotal information on the net of people seating primers through paper and using ‘flash hole wads’ to prevent this. More so with black powder rifles. Does anyone have more infomation or thoughts on this?

any "itis" is caused by eating plants, just FYI.

21:40 if you are supposedly aware of the situation, and you have not increased your production capacity by at least 50% by mid 2024, you are either the dumbest businessmen to ever live(likely the case with Remington's history), or you're grossly negligent.

I got a bucket off remington 22 will not fire in a sw victory

Damn!! You guys get along with Remington????? Dang!!! Just not Winchester/Browning huh?? We know how much Hornady hates the new 6.8 western!! 😂😂😂

This is a little bogus. Where is Winchester? Is the 6.8 such a threat that they won’t make dies or bullets to support that caliber? And they won’t have them on their podcast? Come on Seth, let’s be true to this. 8:00

PRIMERS????? WHAT ARE THOSE????
