- Has anyone seen either CCI or Remington Small Pistol Primers? I have had some on order in London well in excess of 6 months, and still nothing!!!!!! I'm willing to drive, because shipping on primers will kill me.

I'm looking for a couple thousand. So, if anyone knows of any south of Toronto, please let me know.

In case you don't know about it, canada ammo has dominion primers for $29/1000 in small pistol and large. Plus a $10 discount on a case of 5000.

I just got in 5000 spp from them to test out, they appear to act like winchesters primers with hand priming.
 
Bass Pro in Vaughan Mills (10 minutes north of TO) has them in stock as of 3 days ago. You should call first.

I'm going to assume that was a typo.

Boxer is for standard reloading and berdan is the other kind with 2 flash holes. The stuff canada ammo brought in is mostly boxer but they also brought in berdan for 7.62x39mm.
 
My lee press only likes CCI or Remington; Winchester tend to go bang, bang, bbbbbbbb BOOM. They recommend the explosion shield if you use anything other than CCI or Remington - I've never been disappointed. I especially like the Remington small Pistol primers.

Anyone from further south of the GTA?

You've actually had the primers go off in your Lee press? Which one the pro1k?

Ive loaded thousands with Winchester and Cci on a pro1k without issue.

I have the loadmaster, and love it. It was a friend of mine, so there may have been other issues, beside the primers. But the manual does state that if you choose to use other primers (non cci/rem), then you need to have the explosion shield in place. I don't like unexpected loud noises - so I play it safe, and I've never been disappointed after thousands of rounds.
