I'm up to four now. I just keep upgrading and putting the old ones on the shelf.

Will keep my new Magnetospeed and my last purchase, a Pact XP Pro (with printer and IR sensors) for when I want to do large sample speed measurements without POI shift.

That leaves a Pact XP-1 and a Shooting Chrony (green case) that has the LCD screen on the box itself, that I will sell if it doesn't get too complicated completing the transaction. I'm getting extremely lazy in my old age :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

I generally stick to CCI. I have used Remington and Winchester when CCI was not available.



I just use "Primers". Whatever is available at the time. I find that just about all primers work fine. Might have to adjust a load by a "tenth or two" but as long as it sets off the charge it's good for me.

Primers may have been a big deal a decade or two ago but today's manufacturing processes have improved immensely since then.

What's more important to me is availability. I then buy enough where I don't have to make any adjustments in load for the next couple of years.

Same here. With the Labradar though . . . I think I'm ready to sell off all the rest of them, including the Magnetospeed. I just need to spend a little time to get my shit together and make it happen.

CCI, but lately I've had a couple of FTF with a good primer strike present.
On 223 and on 357 Magnum revolvers.
WTF CCI?

I used to only use cci until Sagewa recommended Winchester primers. I now use both and have had no problems.

If Wes says something is good to go for reloading, I listen.

Not saying it's so, but I had some reloads that I did not seat the primer fully and so even with good strikes they didn't ignite. Lots of other options too, flash hole blocked with media, lube contamination...could be bad primers too :D

I've used CCI, Magtech & S&B. I've never had one NOT go bang
In my .357 & .44 I use CCI Mag primers. For .223 I have only ever used CCI 41'S.
For 45acp I've used all 3 listed with the last 20000 being S&B.
Same for 9mm.
I tried the S&B because I have shot thousands and thousands of their 9mm rounds and I cant see $8 extra for CCI that do the same thing

Good points. I guess I should inspect them closer when I take those duds apart.
Definitely not lube contamination. They are all corn media'd before reloading.
Possible a flash hole blockage.
