I almost pulled the trigger on them but just couldn't do it since I have stock available. Triple price is still alot better than what we were seeing but I just couldn't do it.

Just received my order. yeah, says on the box they're for 5.56. I'm sure I will be breaking some regulation by using them for other calibers, and god forbid, maybe even a handgun caliber!!!!!!! Saints preserve us!!!!!!

I have one Shotgun primer. I'll let it go for a mere $37.47. PM me.

For those of you buying powder and primers, and ammo, as it slowly becomes available, I'm curious as to the lot #'s and when it was manufactured. Is it all "new", within the past few months? Or is it N.O.S?

Good question Tech!!!!!

They're a tiny bit harder. That's about it. Fine to use in other calibers. They may sit above flush in the pistol calibers though.
At this point in time NOS may actually be better than new considering QC has been slipping a bit lately.

"Midway is price gouging."
My plan is to use them for my 300 Blackout AR. Like @gun_slinger_boy said, they're harder primers to prevent slam fires with free floating firing pins (no spring retention) like in the AR and even the M1 Garand. These hardly ever occur unless there are other discrepancies like a poorly seated primer (partially obstructed primer pocket) or too long of an overall length of your bullet, et al. You either have to be really unlucky or really horrible at reloading to get a slam fire.
FWIW, mine were Lot Code D01C101 which translates to April 1st (joke's on America), 2021, Lot 101.
Dateline: July 24, 2021...Cheektowaga, N.Y. ....Cabela's had 6 bricks of CCI Small Rifle (standard) primers, and 8 bricks of CCI Large Pistol (standard) primers on the shelf in the ammunition aisle. The price was $ 65 / 1000.
I didn't buy any of them, I left them all for YOU.

I saw a lot of primers yesterday at the gun show in Fayetteville, NC. Unfortunately they were made of gold as the prices ranges from .17- .35 cents each.
I scored some from Powder Valley the week before last. .06 ea plus shipping and haz mat.

That 5k primers and 5k bullets deal for $1k isn't a bad deal at all.
I'm glad they had 'em but... $.10 ea? woof.
