CCI Primers

[INTIMIDATOR]

I am just starting to reload my own rounds. I am aware of the primer shortage that has hit his country from coast to coast.
I have a Savage Model 12 VLP in .223. I do some paper punching as well as hunting with this rifle, the tasks are pretty well split prolly 60/40 for target shooting. Is there that much of a difference between the BR4 primers and the 400 series for accuracy?
I'm loading a 50gr. Varmint Grenade with IMR 4198 powder.

I found some CCI 400 series primers will these do for my application?

Thanks.

I use CCI 400's in my Savage 12 .223 with great sucess. It shoots arround 1/2 " regularly, so I havent tried any others....Ken

Yep. You should buy as many as you can afford too. The primer shortage is all over North America, not just Canada.
You won't see much difference between a BR primer and a regular primer for hunting.

I use 400s or 450s in my 222 all the time, and like Ken, my rifle shoots good enough that I don't see any need to change to a bench rest primer.

primers come in cases of 5000. Reduces risk of running out an d give s you a lot of laoding withthe same lot number of primer.
