Sellier+ Bellot primers

[mbogo3]

Wondering about what the general consensus is on their quality etc ? I recently ordered a few small rifle /pistol and large pistol to have on hand.CRAFM has them in stock which is depleting fast for anyone interested.

I've gone through just over 5k without any issues function wise. They seem to seat very snug in 9mm IVI brass even after the primer pockets have been swedged. I wouldn't think twice about using them for general Plinking/ casual target loads.

They are my go-to. Haven't had any issues. Quality is as good as any N American primer. Small and Large pistol.

I hear they are quite good in quality.
I know of a couple guys that compete with them in their F Class loads.
I almost ordered 1K myself on Thursday... but they had some CC 450 in stock.
I hear the supply chain (less prone to stock outs) of S&B is more constant than CCI.
If the day comes that I can't find CCI in-stock then I will definitely go S&B and adjust my loads accordingly.

I think I had two duds out of the 10,000 I used, not bad for the price at the time.

I have used 50,000 for small rifle and also the small pistol flavour. Work well. No complaints.

Apparently they are very consistent when weighed. Very little variance. Very good primers.

I have used thousands of them. As has been mentioned, they do fit quite snug. I dont see that as bad. It just makes it hard sometimes to seat primers quickly when doing bulk reloading. Performance wise, I have come to believe they are on the warm side, but I don't have data to back that up.
