It says it right on the rebate as to which ones qualify. WSP is Winchester Small Pistol, etc.
Local shop has Winchester pistol primers for $30/1000 out the door. $28 before tax. That means $7/1000 rebate. I'll be there tomorrow to pick up my 7k of primers.
Kinda interested in the new 'match' primers,,, Not seeing them around a lot,,,
I use mostly CCI primers but a few years back during another Winchester rebate I bought a lot of WLP and some WLR primers. I can't shoot well enough to tell if there is any difference. I would buy either Win or CCI when the price is right.Anyone have a comparison with CCI and Win primers? Been using CCI but this maybe too good to pass up. Just don't want to mess with good loads too much.
For pistol loads, I do not believe difference will be enough to tell.Anyone have a comparison with CCI and Win primers? Been using CCI but this maybe too good to pass up. Just don't want to mess with good loads too much.
Having said that, primer comparison will be one future myth busting thread that will seek to identify primers that will produce smallest groups - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...-and-discussions.778197/page-10#post-10966692
But what I am interested is not the Extreme Spread of muzzle velocities but consistency of velocity as translated into holes on target (Group size).someone did a study of pistol loads to compare the same load against the most popular primers ... among the 4 primers tested the over-all speed variation wasn't that great, As I recall it was less than 50fps.
The Rifleman's Journal (website that focused on 1000 yard/Palma Match reloading/shooting currently inactive) did a comparison of SR and LR flash size and duration study and subsequent affect on group size. Different brand primer definitely had an affect on group size and I am looking to see if that's the case for SP primers.I think what they were trying to show was that there wasn't that great a difference between brands as far as how they effected bullet speed. But it did clearly show that the Federal primers increased speed the greatest of the group and consistently. I don't recall this story mentioning anything to the effect of accuracy.
If you have a light pistol load that barely functions an auto, sometimes a switch in primers can cause failures to function and you will need to bump up the charge .1 or .2 Grs depending on caliber/powder speed.Even during last two component shortages where I had to buy whatever was in stock, Magtech/Fiocchi/Wolf/S&B all fired reliably and I didn't need to adjust any of my powder charges
