dominion primers

Did you try a cgn search of dominion primers its like once a week this question comes up. And to answer your question yes they work just fine better then Winchester primers in my opinion.
 
Used small rifle for a 223 load when I ran out of CCI. Shot both on a trip to the range. My groups seemed unaffected. Could be the shooter though...
 
After using over 1,000 of them in small pistol I ordered 10,000 more. I cannot see any accuracy difference in 9mm loads.
Yes, they work fine and I find them a little oversize than Winchester primers so it helps with loose primer pockets and gets a few more reloads out of the cases
 
I've had no problems with small pistol primers feeding in my 550. I did have a couple get stuck when turning over my primer pick up tubes, they seem to have a very round profile.
 
Using a 550b and large pistol primers I found that they would only seat 3/4 to 7/8 of the way on atleast half the brass I was using. I would have to remove from stage one and hand prime them the rest of the way. Huge PITA for me and definately NOT worth saving 10$ per thousand. I don'y know if they are slightly larger but never have this problem with CCI or federal.
 
I had 20K of them. I sold them after I went through about 5K. They operated fine in unmodified "duty" pistols, however I was having about 5% failure to fire in my CZ-75 and Glock 34 as they are both modified / lightened springs. I swapped both firing pins to extended and dropped to 3-4% but the savings where not worth the unreliability.

I have had fairly good luck in rifle, but I am running milspec trigger group. I will see if that holds up after I go to aftermarket in the next couple of months.

Once you lighten hammer springs it's pretty much Federal primers at that point.
The Dominion primers have been 100% so far after 2,000+ rounds in my CZ 75 Tac Sport and S&W 929. They both have the stock hammer springs.
 
just switched over to Dominion primers and finding I`m getting a lot of primer ignition failures. Averaging 4-10 per 100 :(

I`m using a Vibra Prime to load the primers into tubes and reloading on a Dillon XL 650. Could it be the excess vibration that`s shaking something loose in the primers? I`ve been trying to pay attention to making sure the primers go in and are seated squarely, and I`ve been using my Grand Power X-Calibur with stock springs and recently detail stripped & cleaned. I don`t think it`s a light strike, as I`ll give them an extra couple of trigger pulls in DA before I give up and eject the dud round.

VanMan,
I'm using 3.3 grs. of Titegroup with 147grs Cam Pro bullets, Dominion primers out of my CZ Tac Sport.
It does look like your brass is getting light strikes.
Here's a pic of my fired brass.
